I don't know what made me do it...

Perhaps Pearly put some kind of cut shelf hex on me...  ::)

I don't typically do any kind of pistol grip or a cut shelf as I have an aversion towards mimicking glass lam bows, but haven't done one since I first started 13 years ago and guess I wanted to try one out with better trained eyes...

+1, come on man you know better >:(

I'm not one for copying glass bows either but the pistol grip really is just more ergonomic than my usual wrapped stick. I can't deny that it's technically better for consistency and comfort, so I just use it when it fits or it's requested. So far it's requested more than it fits ;) ;D

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

Am jealous of those who can foresee how laminations will look when shaped/finished.  Congrats!

That's nice looking.  Can't wait to see the finished bow.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Those limbs look a bit short O:) but the grip is cool.
