the bamboo bows i tiller with the lams between the boo backings,they are 0.1000,0.2050,0.3050 thds per running inch, the tiller is more or less in the math.then the addition of boo stripes are factored in,and sdjusted accordingly,its very time consumming,and a pain in the butt.but i come out with  a nice bow,early draw weight,and a much different appearance than most other all wood bows.im now working on a self bow for a fellow when i get it finished i will post it.    robustus

James, you build those as kits by any chance? Looks like a cool glue up project but dont have the tools to do one myself.

Nice work there James. You put a lot of time and effort into those and it shows. I would love to take it for a test drive.
