Do you guys think a tri wood laminate in a 58 inch duoflex design of say ipe belly yew core and bamboo back (yea i know bb isnt a wood) would be better than say just a bamboo backed yew bow of this design? you could probly replace the ipe with ironwood or something but just curious.
Chris, I can't see why not, here is a picture of a Bamboo backed Walnut core and Osage belly bow I build a couple of years ago.

Wow! Especially with a broadhead in it! Awesome bow there!
OK Chris, time to step up! We expect pictures soon!

Thanks Pat,
it makes me smile every time you mention your admiration for that bow, it was an experiment gone right for a change, I can vouch for it's efficiency as well!!
