I was going to use Titebond III after acetone this time anyway. That was was my next question.How do those dimensions sound?They sound OK I think, though I have only done this sort of lamination with ELB's, so not a lot of experience with risers and fade-outs. I wonder if there's be enough belly lam thickness for tillering near the handle?Just as a comment - I would feel I was adding mass to the limb unnecessarily with dense wood like ipe for the core? The best ELB I did a bit like this was an ash core with ipe belly and bamboo back, but I'm sure your combination will be fine. Good luck with it.
