I am better at making a parallel bow,, and I like the design when making a heavy bow or have wood with issues,,, I am sure a pyramid can work great, but if you are starting with a narrow piece of wood, and need a little more weight ,, the parallel design seems to make more since to me,,

I think the parallel design might be a bit more versatile ,,???
