Nothing like you guys are doing but I was quite proud when I did them. The first one is a fluer de luis under clear glass and the others have laser engraving under the glass.

Are you using these lams as actual working lams or as decrative veneers?
Nice work, BTW.

Semo_Hunter,

That riser went in the hot box seven different times before making the first trip to the sander to start shaping.

I can imagine, very intricate and meticulous work I'm sure. Sometimes the most time consuming ventures are also our best work aren't they? Not sure if I would have the patience to do that, but you pulled it off nicely.

Semo_Hunter,

I had built several bows with the usual looks and was bored. I was looking around the shop and saw a stack of scrap pieces. You know it when you see it, there was a riser in that stack. I just ad to figure it out.

how thick do you guys sand these down too?

i made a set the other day using titebond two and sanded them down to .070. long stroy short they came apart in the glue line. so i was thinking either i had them too thick or the titebond two wasnt strong enough. what do you guys think?

fujimo · « **Reply #34 on:** March 09, 2012, 09:27:00 PM »

maybe the heat generated during grinding released the tb 2 glue

Troy Breeding · « **Reply #35 on:** March 09, 2012, 09:30:00 PM »

You have to glue them together with the same epoxy as you will use to build the limbs. Atleast thats the way I do it. Since they will be going back in the hot box to cure once in the form the joint in the pieces has to be as strong as possible.

I use tight bond 3 and drum sand them down to .040 or .030. I have only had one come apart and I just glued it back together with no problem.

You need to sand the joint... clean the joint with Acetone the apply good pressure as the joint dries.

I don't know much about tb2.. But we use tight bond 3 in the wood flooring industry to glue together the floors.. works great and holds up..

Just made these up yesterday/today for a recurve I am building a buddy's daughter..

Getting better with my scroll saw.. want to start doing more!
