every Tom, Dick and Harry seems to be building those darn tri lam things- so figured i would give it a go to-
cant be too hard i mean- specially if you look at whozall building them.
so gatherd some materials , i have an old snakey osage self bow, that i had retired -problems in the handle area- figured if i buck off the limbs, a little heat gun work, and saw them into slats- they would be good for the belly lam, some SPF for the core- nice and light- and i got a real good piece of bamboo- just dying to be made into a bow

so here my plan.
limbs bucked off by 11.00
limbs straightened by 12h30
limbs split into slats by 2 pm
slats spliced, and core cut and tapered to .002 taper by 4 pm
glued up and on the caul by 6pm.

get it off the form in the morning- 6 am
quick touch up tiller and finish applied by 9 am
be shooting it tomorrow evening!
should be easy!

well thats my plan anyway
will keep you all posted
gonna get my daughter to paint my nails and see if i can find my other camera in the sock drawer

Except for the 20 beer breaks, I think Roy's schedule is about the same.

Ah come on, Greg.. LOL

Yeah really Greg, you don't think that Roy is that kind of lightweight do you? He goes through a full case just laying out his z-splices.

Crittergetter · « **Reply #11 on:** February 23, 2015, 10:42:00 AM »

Come on guys, let's be real. At Roy's age it's more about the zzzz's and less about the splices'!
