Thanks David!

Chris, I cut back to 16" in this one along with using the superlam, it don't bend too bad off the riser but not quite what I had envisioned in midlimb.

I had a 60" that the bend in the limb looked like that. I was using .003 so I went to .002 with 8" tip wedge and it stiffened up the tip just right.

Thanks for the offer Kenny, but I should finally get started on the Bingham's hybrid I promised my daughter.  As slow as I am at making a glass bow, I won't need those plans for another year or so.
I really like that forward handle, though...

It's hard to make a wooden bow which isn't beautiful, even if it's ugly.
