If I weren't already making bows your work here would certainly get me started! I want to learn more about this one. got a link to it?

Agreed. It does sound more like he is describing mollegabet style bow.  I’ve done a number of these and have incorporated a slight bend in the levers and they are non bending so no sinew or backing used on the levers.  I used a thread wrap where the backing ended at start of levers.  I’ll try and dig up some pictures.

This sure is one cool bow!!!

And yes, the Holmegard has no levers.
