Any chance of showing a full draw not to mention a braced picture for April Laminate Bow of the Month consideration?

Glad we all held out for the full draw and braced views.  Thanks.
I got rid of the saw horses, though. >:D
Wonderful work and beautiful background. You've got a great contender for April Laminante Bow of the Month, here.

  Glad that you posted the full draw and braced photos. As far as my opinion goes I would call that a classic d/r shape and tiller. They don't get much better than that. Steve

Great job on an awesome bow!  I built one very similar recently.  When I saw this one yesterday, I couldn't believe how similar they are.
