Very nice bow.  Not an ELB though but rather an ALB

Thanks, guys, for your kind words!

Marc: I agree your comment... that's why I used the word "stylish" because of the width to depth ratio doesn't fully meet ELB specs.

It's working! First it felt a bit stiff but looks like I'll be able to master this new bow. Shot from 20 yards.

I have to agree with Simson, very clean, and I'll add classy, also.

Got a new toy, Chrony, and got to test it, naturally. I checked the speed of my latest BBO and HBHB bows and for comparison the two real ELBs from Pip Bickerstaffe and Mike Eaton, UK.  Fifth one was Falcon Force Diamond Carbon flat bow from Estonia. The same 8 cedar arrows, spined to 65 lbs, weight 34 g (525 gr), were shot by all bows. My draw length is slightly abowe 28".

Results (not too bad for my hand work, I suppose):

My HBHB-ELB, 74", 74 lbs @ 28", Hickory-Bulletwood-Hickory-Bulletwood, Dacron: 49,0 m/s (160,9 fps)

My BBO-ELB, 70,0", 74 lbs @ 28", Bamboo-Bulletwood-Osage Orange, Dacron: 50,0 m/s (164,1 fps)

Pip Bickerstaffe ELB, 77,5", 70 lbs @ 28", Hickory-Purple Heart-Green Heart-Osage Orange, FastFlight: 49,7 m/s (162,9 fps)

Mike Eaton ELB, 74,4", 70 lbs @ 28", Bamboo-Ipe-Lemonwood, Dacron: 47,6 m/s (156,0 fps)

Falco Force Diamond Carbon, 68", 65 lbs @ 28", FastFlight: 53,6 m/s (175,8 fps)

I hardly care for glue ups, but this one looks just fantastic! Outstanding details, too.
