Hi All,
One of the "someday" projects I've wanted to do is a Holmgaard style bow. Having worked in a cabinet shop, we laminated all kinds of blanks to make pieces for individual projects. I'm wondering if I could not do something similar in assembling a blank for a Holmgaard.
A couple of pieces of maple (as an example) for the handle, two pieces of wide flat stock about a foot and a half long for the working section, and a couple of pieces of ash for the non-working tips. Put a good glue into the mix and I'd get a nice bow blank without starting with a three inch square stave six feet long.
Anyone do something like this??
