Since you are already laminating wood, then adding unidirectional CF fabric strips is straight forward..

What kind of "glue" are you using to laminate the wood strips --- Epoxy - If not then do switch to epoxy -- Simply wet out the unidirectional strips thoroughly with  epoxy directly onto your wood strips.

Build up a "stack" and  compress ...   I take it that you have some sort of shaped "compression" setup to shape the limbs ?

I have built a couple of straight longbows this way -- and an experimental set of recurve limbs for my compound hunting bow handle .. they work great!

Do not adjust our mind, theres a fault in reality :-)
