What are the lams?  Looks pretty good so far.

Right limb is a bit stiff overall.

  I need a front view so we can tell where the levers start.

  I love the profile so far.  Mike is right.  The RT limb is bending a lot less in the middle.  To my eye, about even for first 30% off the handle, RT bends less from 30% to 70% of the limb length, then outer section about same.

One thing I do on molle's is floor tiller over my knee.  I have a heck of a time floor tillering sometimes, on any bow and go right to the tree after getting to close starting dimensions.  With a holmie/molle, I can grab the bases of the levers, put my foot on a chair, put the handle against my knee and check them with a slight pull.  I can feel as well as see differences, then.

This profile makes a very good shooter IMO/experience, as long as you don't over-do the curves.

The levers are like 5" long. I'll try and get an unbraced pic up.

Well got it to 28", gotta make a video to double check and final tiller off hand. Hopefully get pix tonight. Gotta lighten the mass on the tips and add overlays, or could I leave the knocks in the boo?

Cut side nocks or add an overlay, don't cut into the face of the bamboo.
