At what thickness should you stop thinking of a lam strip and start thinking of cutting and shaping (bandsaw and spindle sander) when designing a multilayer riser? I guesss this would be based on the assumption one has resaw and thickness sanding capability to hit any desired thickness. I imagine you guys have your own rule like example: 125 thk. Is wood species a big factor in the max thickness?

The shape of the contour will have a big effect. Normally .060-.070 is as thick as I want to bend.

Like Marty,if its a tighter radius,.060 is plenty. On these bows,I went .125 cause it was a gentle bend...

Yea I sort of forgot the radius factor. Kenny, that look was what I had in mind. Are those inside riser cuts freestyle or done on a radius jig like on po boy site?

Those are freestyle,I made a jig,but it is not that hard to do without one. Hate the setup time it takes on my jig!

Lordy, the pressure is tremendous. This site is evil. Got to get started with everything I learned here in only one month. Build a long is coming.
