Here's another reflex deflex bow I tillered out months ago and just finally got around to finishing. It's 49#s at 28", 60" long and under an inch wide at the fades. Bamboo back, padauk lam (which was way to thick and is probably poised on the brink of overpowering the belly, as this was my first experiment with tri-lams) in the middle, and an osage core. The handle is made up of bacote and ipe, and the tips are bacote and horn. A nice shootin' little bow.

Looks dang sweet to me! :thumbsup:
Out of curiosity,do ya have any trouble with limb twist, being that narrow?
Very nice!!
Thanks!
Na, never had much trouble with limb twists. As long as your careful picking out boards with good grain and when laying out the bow, you should be fine no matter how narrow you go.
