Wonderfully nice job!  What are the spec's on your glass and lam thickness/tapers?

Mom's a lucky woman!

OK thanks!

I must say that you have done a fine job on that level of project, especially with the multiple lam's and overlays!

Did you tell Binghams you were shortening the riser before they sent the lam's?

Take Care,
Marc

While I haven't made a bow this way before, I've always had a question:  Where does the formica strip  come into the bowmaking process?

thanks.

it came out 45#@28 and about 35-37 at her draw.

heres mom at full draw, this was before she had shot it and fixed a bunch of form issues lol.

 

the formica strip helps get rid of the little imperfections on the form so the back of your bow doesnt get those imperfections glued into it. ie bumps and dents. it also helps keep glue off the form and such.
