I take the outside of curve to disc sander and just lightly clean up any zigs or zags , then spindle sander to inside curve and do the same, then clamp together and check the glue line, just like a dry run on a bow. Then adjust the inside curve because the disc sander on the outside curve is rarely out of line. Rarely have to do much more than that.

Will not sand the back profile til I'm ready to finish the riser up for bow glueup.

I gotta get a pc of metal strap to make the straps to bolt it together with the bow and air hose in between.

I could rob em off another form, but don't want to....

I like the air system because the entire bow has the exact same pressure as it cures.

Got some orders to fill, then back at it tomorrow.

Sposed to snow a couple inches in morning so good day to be in shop.

Got the metal strap for the hold down straps. Have to cut and drill them, space the form and adjust width of space between top and bottom.

Then wax on it and start figuring bow lam thickness  out....
