Wow, looks great!  I've always wanted to make a composite.  I'd love to see a build-a-long too.

      First time I have ever seen such a diverse collection in construction at the same time. I can't wait to see them finished. I am really interested in how well you estimated the draw weight. That initself seems like a major task. Great work, keep us posted as you go. Steve

Wow, looks fantastic.
The one in the middle seems to be my favorate design, an angular bow, like the Egyptian, right?
Do you have more details, that would be great 

[Justin Snyder]

That is inspiring James, I can't wait to see more pictures.

akila.i used the rope and wedge method on all of the cores  in the pics,,very hard to manage but can be done with some patience...

James thanks for sharing; as always FANTASTIC work.  I just love those Asian bows.

James, I guess from all the reactions here one can say that we all wouldn't be too bored if you posted more (MORE...!) detailed photos of these cores!!!
