reduce .020 from wood or glass

[davidt]

The last recurve I made had a recipe of two .050 glass-one .050 parr.-one .110 taper. If I want to take out .020 would you recomend to take it from glass or wood. Matbe it makes no difference. Whats your thoughts .I am heading to work the night shift in a hot old paper mill I will check in tomorrow. Thanks David T.

I  would decrease the glass. If you are going from a stack of 260 and are wanting a new stack of 240- I would go with either 2- .030's of glass or a .040 and a .030 and then increase the core thickness to make up the difference and reach your 240 mark.

Yep,what Dave said, but if you drop .040 in glass thickness,you might wanna bump the wood core up .005 or so cause glass is a little stiffer than wood per thickness IMO.
