Yes I agree, very nice one.

What are the limb dimensions in  width from fades? It looks almost like it is parallel until the tips. Danny

Very impressive work. I had to take a look when I saw the title "reflex/reflex" :)

Oh Lukasz, that is one fine looking bow!  Simply elegant.  I can only imagine that it will perform like a champion. 

Excellent work, sir!

Can you share your plans on how you made the bow?

I start with shape of simple short flatbow with recurve.Next I put reflex on limbs with use hot steam.After rehydration of wood , few days I work with sinew and fish glue.After few weeks I make tillering.Not big deal  ;).One more foto. I think about two weeks should be  warmer and I will made chrono test.I think that could be problems reach 180 fps with 9/10 gpp.Hickory is a little to hevy to make very high performance bows, similar bow from elm will be 80 - 100 gram lighter and such bow should with no problem shoot well over 180 fps
