New wood Takedown
« on: April 25, 2015, 12:25:00 PM »
67" NTN probably around    38#.  It draws very smooth as the limbs are 31" long with a 16" riser. Riser is maple, white oak and yew accents. Limbs are 3 lams of maple backed with linen.  I used 1 tapered 20" lam on the back.  I have 2 sets of limbs for this riser.  Took about 1/4" of set.  Sorry for the bad photo quality.

Thx Ben, I'm cutting all my lams now at over 1 7/8" that way my finished bows will be a full 1 3/4" instead of 1 1/2 - 1 5/8".  These limbs are 1 1/2"

Beautiful, your construction is fascinating.  I would like to do something similar someday.  Any construction tips you would like to share would be of great interest.
