Give me two years and I'll have it finished up..

These were just cut yesterday in Ohio... I'll be using the one in the back ground first..

So stay tuned for monthly updates, LOL...

Well at least you're building. I thought you'd just given up, lol.

Glad to see you back in the selfbow game a bit too.

Looks like some fun times ahead, the one in the foreground looks especially challenging.

Don't ever just assume Roy is gonna turn a nice Osage log into selfbow staves. I've seen him slice 'n dice nicer pieces than that.

At your age,the bark will fall off before you get to it. Might wanna hire the beetles to get it off there.

Just as long as you aren't using "fake wood"! Lol

I guess I'll have to keep an eye on this one. I might learn something from the old man. I've got an Osage stave in the corner that keeps staring at me everytime I walk by. Need to do something with it sooner or later!

Roy would you mind sharing your lam thicknesses again. You told me a while back that you decreased them from some of your earlier builds. I'm determined to complete a trilam.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #18 on:** September 26, 2015, 04:53:00 PM »

Osage belly 1/4" parallel. Core lams 1/4" tapered to 1/8" at tips, start the taper at the end of the riser. Taper the bottom limb core lam 1/32" thinner than the top limb core lam. So taper it to 3/32".

Can ya give us that in thousandths? :D :D
