Tablesaw Or Bandsaw?

[Colorado Joe]

How would one set up a jig on a table saw to rough cut tapers on a fairly square longbow blank?

Or would a bandsaw be better?

I've used both without a jig, just ran em through and tried not to get too close to the lines and then zero in and clean up with a rasp.  The bandsaw can be sneaky enough as it is, getting below the line when you think your not, but the tablesaw is downright treacherous!  If you have a choice go with a bandsaw, go slow, and stay at least a 1/16-1/8" away from your profile lines.  If you use the tablesaw go superslow and stay at least 1/8-1/4" away from your lines.  As my barber used to say, "i can take it off, but I ain't figured out how to put it back on!"  

If you have some scrap wood, do a few practice runs.  My 2 cents worth:)  Good luck!

Table saw is the way to go if your band saw blade is too thin.

Yay first cut done. Five to go.........
