Title: Question for ASL builders
Post by: Mike Mecredy on January 10, 2021, 12:10:22 PM

When you guys make a laminated, ASL styled bow, in the 66" - 68" length, how long do you make your riser?

If riser is on top of belly lams, i like a 14" riser. If doing a thin lam with or without a veneer, then i like to go with 15" for a 66" and 16" for a 68"z.
