Hey Ryan, did you have any glueing problems with the lams? And what glue did you use? The reason I ask is that I was curious about using "toasted" maple from a lumberyard as a pre heat treated belly, but the consensus was that toasted wood doesnt glue as well.

I didn't notice any problems in particular. I used titebond 2 as I've used it before for other bows and it worked well.

Great job!  It's good to see you posting a bow again.  That one has to be a sweet shooter.  Your attention to detail has always impressed me.

Looks like a hill bow in every way. Love the thin overlays.  Great to see your work again Ryan.

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
