I keep running into these terms and everytime I think I understand them I come up dumb. :confused:
Could some one please give me a simple/ easy to understand definition of these terms so I actually get it, please. :help:
I want to learn what things are, so I come before the masters for instructions, help me old bow kenobi.
Thanks, sorry for the bad joke, funny to me though.

Hi
A laminated bow is strips of bow material glued together to form laminated bow limbs. These can be glass and wood, or just wood (including bamboo) e.g. a bamboo backed Osage or ipe. My English longbow is laminated bamboo back with a purpleheart centre and a yellowheart belly.
A glass bow, is where there are strips of glass on the back and belly. In truth a laminated bow aswell but with glass.
Hope this is correct and helps.

I like the joke. lol
I agree with PZee for the most part. But I think a bow with a single piece of wood for the core and a bamboo or wood backing is a backed bow, not a laminated bow. Laminated bows have multiple laminations... i.e.... more than two. JMHO
