Hi guys.
Well.. I tried to make an ELB but ended up with the belly lam so thin, it couldn`t be made round.
It also ended up 35#.... 10# less then what I wanted so I`ll be giving it to a friend of mine. He`s a happier man now... :D
Specs:
71" TtT
35#@29"
Ipe belly, maple core and bamboo back.
1" wide at the widest point
Ipe tip overlays
Ram horn arrow pass
Leather grip
Haven`t made a proper string yet.. still using the tillering string, but here she is..
unstrung (kept a bit of reflex after tillering)

full draw (It may looks like a hing on the left limb but it`s just the camera angle)

Thats all folks... tell me what you think

Nice work, I'm sure your friend is happy :)
Right limb looks ok, but that long stiff handle on the left seems like it's making the midlimb work a little harder?

The handle is 10" long but the grip is not in the middle. That`s why it looks like the left has a long stiff handle.
I used the tillering gizmo and it says there`s no hing... :P
I think it`s the camera angle, I`m not standing right in front of it, I`m a littleof to the side.

Why don't you put it on the tiller the way it will be drawn?

Not too bad for a multiple piece glue up, those slippery pieces can be tough to handle. You can always cut a few inches off and get your weight. You have plenty of length to deal with.

I thought of that but then again... my friend really wanted a new bow....
