Lamination sequence ?

[Forwardhandle]

Hi Fellas bare with me I'm asking some basic question here working my way to a glass bow but are the lamination sequence always the same in a glass bow made with multiple laminations is this the right configuration from the back up
Glass ,then tapers,then the parallel ,then belly glass I relies there could be carbon mixed in but do I have the basic configuration right ?

IMO - once glued up it is a composite and matters little the order.

You want to fit the riser to form with lams under it that will be used and not change the order from there on.

I put my thicker .002 taper under riser with a glass and parallel. Then the thinner .001 taper on top of riser because it bends easier up the belly ramps. Then the other parallel and glass.

Do a dry run too to be sure it will all work and get good glue lines too.....

Thanks Kenny I appreciate it I was thinking about building a strait  form and trying a HH bow thinking your bow is above my pay grade but I think after Xmas if the grand kids leave me any money I will pick up your template & prints and get to work on a form ,after studying here for a while it might be the path of least resistance !

If you want one sooner, I have bow blanks on my site now too. ...  :D

Thanks Kenny but half the fun for me is going threw the school of hard knocks and learning the process I will order your bow plans 64 in. I think thats the longest you have , I pull 29 1/4 & form templete if you get a chance send me a bill with the shipping cost and I will shoot you the funds I will order the lams later from you to !  Thanks !
