Couple of new ones

[breazyears]

Made a couple new bows.
       
           
         

       
       

     
       

   
       

 
The second pic is the limbs on the bow in the first pic. Found that spalted maple in a cut and split log in my father in laws burn pile. Both bows still need a finish.
 The last pic is just a glamor shot of a bow i finished some time ago.

How did you do those long splices for the veneers?  They look awesome.

[breazyears]

I just kinda clamp them along a straight edge at the center of the splice, then put a long clamp along the length. You dont need a lot of pressure. Never had them come apart.

How do you cut/pattern them to begin with?

[breazyears]

All i did was make a hard board pattern the same width as the lams...1.5" with the "s" shape cut into it, then traced that to each of the woods i used, cut them out, and sanded carfuly until they matched. I put two thin lams between them at glue up.
