need screwup identified

Al it may do any of the above, and it may stay together for 10000 shots or more ya just don't know. I know it sucks to be out of the 150$ worth of material but its part of bow building, even the best bowyers in the world make fire wood every once in a while.

Double check your form for low spots, high spots, or maybe a rounded over edge and get back on that horse. If ya do find a abnormal part of your form check out Kenny's form build along and use a router bit for a perfect surface.

Good luck

I want to thank you guy again for all the help.
Cory: The form is a Kenneym and cut out with a router.I checked it out with a square and it looks good.
I been throwed by more then one horse,I'm real stubborn    
The next one will turn out better.(I hope)

I shoot every bow a few times before final finish is applied, just to make sure limbs are timed right.. In the bottom picture the white streaks are all running length wise, would that be fractured glass? did you have a hard time getting the bow out of the form?

The more I think about it ,the more I think your right.I pulled this bow out of the form over a month ago,(don't remember so good sometimes)    :rolleyes:    and it did come out hard.I remember now I couldn't figure out why it came out so hard.I waxed everything and wrapped everything.
So it looks like I was the problem    
Thanks again

Hey Al, I've always used plastic wrap and have never had one stick. I just lay it over the form set glued stack on top, flip one side over then flip the other side over put pressure strip on and tape down. The only downside I see I that you have to make sure the plastic stays out of the fades.
