placing the riser on tri-lam bow
« on: December 27, 2014, 02:00:00 PM »
On a glass bow the belly lam goes on the front side of the riser.  On the tri-lam bows the riser seems to be attached later with all the lams on the back side of the riser.  What is the reason for this?

I think it has more to do with personal preference, but I could be wrong. I build my tri-lam bamboo bows with the belly lam on the belly side of the riser. I just like them that way.

It think it is easier to just add the riser. You can still get a nicely shaped riser that blends into the limbs well. You can build them either way.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

Because you don't have to make a perfect feather edge if it just goes on top. just square up a block and glue it on.
