If it is a one piece bow I would put two on the front for more strength in the handle area.

Does 2 - .05" clear glass lambs, and 2 .055" Bambo, and a .027 bamboo core sound like a 40 LB bow - ??? Im really wanting no more than 40....

The weight of the bow will all depend on how much reflex and deflex you have in your form. You will probably need to make a few and keep a good record of what thickness you laminations are before you can accurately predict what weight your bow will be...Glenn...
