Power Lam?

[Wooden Spring]

I keep hearing people use the word "power lam" in their bow glue-ups. What is it, and what does it do?? To hear the phrase used, is it like nitrous oxide boosters or something?

It is a thin strip of wood tapered on each side that is a couple inches longer than the riser that fits between the back and belly/core lamination. It's purpose is to increase stiffness in the handle area.

Take a look at the excellent example Bryce just posted. You can see it in the close-up of the handle section.
