They say dog owners begin to look like their dogs........or is it the other way around? If so, I feel kinda sorry for the dog.

Good looking dog.

Roy - After you take your bow out of that fancy heater and the glue is cured does the tri-lam bow need re-hydrating just like a self bow?

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #45 on:** October 23, 2015, 09:05:00 AM »

Not really.. It's only in there 24 hours at 80 to 85 degrees. And by the time I get it cut out and the horn tips on is another day or two. So it may be 3 days or more till I start tillering it. I never gave it much thought to be honest..

I'm calling BS. I've seen glass in your shop. You just don't show it off. I also notice that your favorite bow when it comes time to hunt is a glass creation:

I think you really do like glass bows, you just don't have the guts to get glass bow construction splinters in those delicate fingers...

I just wanna know why Roy's bow has the pink fuzzy tip??

I think canopyboy should bring along some glass and lams and show you how it's done next time he stops over, Roy.

And I know he can't resist that invitation: "Come over so I can smack ya one." That's some hospitality. :D

Hey Royboy when you were younger and first bought that bow were you taller than it?

Dan Landis · « **Reply #52 on:** October 23, 2015, 08:04:00 PM »

Roy, have you ever used a bamboo backing strip that was cut in half for shipping? If so must it be spliced or butted together?

jsweka · « **Reply #53 on:** October 23, 2015, 08:27:00 PM »

I keep checking this thread for some progress, but nuthin' :(

I'd be curious to know this too.
Only person I've ever seen do it was Sam Harper when he built a bow backed with bamboo shipped from Asia. IIRC he scarf spliced it together, but it was also a relatively thick riser that had a powerlam, and the splice was not in the sight window area .... Again IIRC.

The empty Coors Light cans have asked me to not respond to this thread tonight....

Ben there is no problem splicing backings. I used to do it all the time with elb's and they worked slightly in the handle. I used a simple v-splice and never had a problem. A scarf splice could of course fail and it would be more likely to than a v-splice.
Pretty much all composite hornbows use v-splices and the splices aren't what breaks.
Roy - hope your rasps turn up soon......
