Examples of limbs veneering
Fiberglass
Laminations
All the limbs from my bows are made of bamboo laminations covered with a decorative veneering.
                     
                                    The fiberglass I use on my bows are made by Gordon Composites, Inc.
                                 Note: The Clear glass often contains silvered or whitish lines and sometimes white dots or bubbles.
                                 These lines, points or bubbles are more or less visible according to the wood veneer chosen.
                                 The more the veneer will be contrasted and darkened, the more it will see itself.
                                 Thus, take into account this information when choosing your wood veneer.
                                 I cannot be kept responsible for these esthetic defects, because I do not make the fiberglass.
                                 Besides, these visual imperfections have no mechanical issues.
