I am in the same boat as you.  I just finished my form and have a all wood laminate limb in there now curing so I can see the profile and any flaws before going to glass.  Good luck with yours.

It is a very good proven design.

It is a good design IMO. When using a carbon back I drop the stack 20-25% to get the same weight with a glass back

sorry could you clearify what you mean about dropping the stack

stack = total thickness of lams,fiberglass/carbon.

I measure mine at the butt of the lams.
For a 62" Binghams pronounced T/D on my form:
.310 stack with glass = 50 #
.250 stack with carbon back = 50#

I am just finishing my first bow from there designs and found small inconsistencies in the drawings, but if you measure everything yourself you should be fine. It is a lot of work to get it right but, it has been fun. You are brave going with carbon right a way! Look forward to seeing your progress.
