Maybe 20 or so years ago Dean wrote a great article about making a kid's laminated bow, basically just gluing a slat of wood as a backing to the main core.  This is a different bow build than his kid's rattan bow article.

Anyone have a link to that Torges laminated bow article or saved it?

Rob, I remember Dean's rattan bows but don't remember him making a kids laminated(backed) bow. I'd be interested in reading it. Hope someone has a link. 

Rob, I just posted your question on Primitive Archer. Let's see if we get results there.

I recall seeing on PA a kids bow that looked like a sorta pyramid style flat bow but it had a thin, narrow strip of maybe hickory glued to the back for the tension loads. Is that the style we are talking about?

Yep, that sounds just like it!
