Quote from: Crooked Stic on Today at 08:00:48 AMHave you got either one of those bows that you want to copy. If so measureit at the fades. Figure out the taper per inch. Then measure from the fade to the center. And add the taper in, If you have traced your design that will get you close. Mileage may vary until you get a couple under your belt.

Yes, I do have both of those. I'm just trying to nail down the thickness so I can just buy everything that I can,
I have to ask how do you guys actually figure out your laminations is a trial and error or do you just find one somewhere and measure it?

I will be there again this year.  We had a blast last year!  Thanks for resurrecting this great shoot!

Hi Rhonda, this is the first post for me. I've been trying to figure out how you guys figure out what lamination thickness you need to build your glass lam bows

I've got two designs. I'd like to do, but the one I'm most wanting to do is a copycat of the bear archery Montana, and the three rivers archery Tomahawk Desert Fox, diamond series rd bow.

I am wanting to build a 45 pound at 28 inch for both, I have an idea of what lamination and glass I would like, but I can't figure out the thickness of the pieces. Also I'm in Canada and there's not many places where I can get veneers or lamination I can buy from very few shops in the states. Any advice?

 

Watch the big auction site... eee bayyy.  A search of completed items just showed that there's been a few sold recently.  I got my latest one (the CQ3 pictured above) at the Compton Rendezvous last June for $65.

You are welcome.........just sent you a PM.

Wow lots of good information here, thanks guys for the history and educating me, really like the catquiver 1  or 2. I'm sure one will turn up somewhere. Im going to ETAR this year so i might even be able to source one there.

Get that 4k GoPro going on those shots, so we can really see them. That's some  beautiful narrative and edits too. I love it! These are great videos man.

This one doing well. Three different spines of arrows.
