64" Glass ELB-Osage/Boo

[bjansen]

I glued this 64" glass ELB up on my hill form and it has about 1/2" of string follow.  It has a lam stack of .685, no riser, .008 of taper.  The stack consists of 2 osage full length lams, 1 red core tuff, 4 full length bamboo cores barrell tapered at .002" each and .050 belly, .040 back clear glass.  It is about 1.1" at the fades and came out at about 75# @ 28"...too heavy but I couldnt take too much more off.  Finished with tru-oil and paste wax.

It physically weights hardly nothing.  Kind of regretting not doing horn nocks as that would have looked very nice.  Here are some pics.

I actually havent served the string and shot the final product yet.

Brad,
That is one cool idea. And very nice work.
I just remembered that I have a stack of yew lams that are a bit too narrow for anything else. Maybe a bamboo or hickory back lam to go with them. Going to need a new form as well. I guess that's what vacation time is for.

No these are some other osage lams I had Brock...72" long.  Have fun at the TN classic, I don't think I am going to make it down there

Very cool Brad.

[Buemaker]

Looking good. You certainly have a lot of lams in that bow. Bue--.

Nice bow, Brad!!


Sweet full draw too!!

[bjansen]

Yeah, it was quite a long glue up.  I think if I were to try another, I would use .009 or .010 taper per inch.

[Trux Turning]

Pretty nice one Brad-should really launch an arrow @75#s!!

Waaaay to heavy for me...lol! But you did a real nice job!!

Put it on the classifieds.

A bunch of us heavy bow shooters would want it.  I certainly do.
