Here's some photos of my second re/de glue up. There is a 16" maple power lam in the handle. I'm learning to get the thickness within the range I want with the lams. Still using a 40 grit belt on a 6"x48" sander to grind the lams and eye balling. Getting the first string on it is a bear.
It is 66" tip to tip, 52# at 28"

Very nice! Seems to me that you have raised your bow making skills to a higher bar. Bookmarked, too!
