Who if anyone uses the bandsaw to cut the angle of the trapped limb while cutting it from the bow blank? Lam bows of course. I am thinking of trying this on my current build. Thanks

I don't make glass bows,any more but when I did I found that the glass tore up bandsaw blades.
I preferred to use something like a disc sander to shape the limbs.

You are right about it being hard on the blades. I keep old dull ones just for it. I am looking to speed up my process a little. I have three bows in que at once.

I bring mine down close to the marks with a 4'' disc sander and 36 grit, and then use a sanding board with 40 grit to take them to the marks. Doesn't take long at all but boy it throws some dust about.
