I bet that's gonna be a pretty one Ed. I like the second full draw picture better even if it's not quite full draw. Could possibly be a little stiff first bit out of lower fade but your closer to it than me and better eye for tiller than me to. I love the look and smell of red cedar.

Beautiful bow, that’s what they call gull wing shape right? Perfect weight for targets, stumping, or whitetails too!

She's a beauty.  I JUST made (not sanded and finished yet) a hickory-backed BL that looks almost the same from the front. Great design, R/D with reasonable reflex and skinny tips.

I second the tri-lam suggestion.  Take them down a little in thickness to use as the middle lam, then glue a solid 1/4" on top of that, and off you go.

You know, Ed, for such a funny looking duffer, you sure turn out some downright sexy bows.  Your hallmarks are clean lines, excellent tiller, and elegant finish. This one is no exception.

Great looking bow Ed.  I love working with cedar, especially sinew backed. Hadn't thought about using maple.

The unbraced profile is really nice. Looks like it came to the string beautifully as well. I'd love to see the belly with finish on it . Well done!
