Thanks Guys... Bvas I used ea40 and then I sprayed extra coats on the riser... Next round I may try something different... Filling grain is a PITA extra step... I am looking to streamline things a little...

What I don't like is the Aqua Coat Grain Filler... You need three coats and if you don't sand it all the way off it discolors the wood when you put your finish coats on...

You have to seal the wood before Aqua Coat. Still not impressed with it.

Goodlooking bows.

Shredd,
Nice woodworking on those risers and tips. Three bows, that's impressive. I'm struggling with finding time to work on the just one. And now deer season has come along.

Thanks for the Good Words Guys...

Got a new Design in the works... It may be hard to see the lines on the paper... But, the riser will be about 3/16" more forward, angle at the fades will be 3 degrees less, mid limb will be about a 1/4" forward and the tips will be about 3/4" more forward compared to my current design...

When you add all this up, it should see a greater gain in performance... My current design is averaging 182-184 fps... With this new design I am hoping to get close to knocking on 190's door... Hell if I can get over 185fps consistently I will be a happy camper...

Who am I BS-ing ?? I'll never be happy... If I was hitting 200 I would want 205...

Form is just about ready for a dry run...

Buemaker · « **Reply #1167 on:** October 09, 2018, 03:00:31 PM »

One question. The center of the bottom form seem to have a pointed shape, how are you going to fit the lams around that point?

Shredd · « **Reply #1168 on:** October 09, 2018, 03:45:23 PM »

I am just gonna round the riser at the point... The bending forces of the lams alone should be enough pressure to hold the lams tight against the riser while being glued...

A piece of hard rubber with tapered ends might be better.

Buemaker · « **Reply #1170 on:** October 09, 2018, 06:11:11 PM »

Well, I guess there is only one way to find out if it will work. I wonder though.

Forwardhandle · « **Reply #1171 on:** October 09, 2018, 06:20:28 PM »

Im just curious why you made it to a point like that vs rounding it ? Maybe Im missing some thing ?

Shredd · « **Reply #1172 on:** October 09, 2018, 06:40:57 PM »

Here yah go folks... Piece of pine for a mock-up riser a parallel and a glass lam... Found another way of Skinnin' that Cat...

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #1173 on:** October 09, 2018, 07:30:09 PM »

My guess is each side is flat to the center. That makes the fit less trouble two straight cuts and you are done.

Shredd · « **Reply #1174 on:** October 09, 2018, 09:05:41 PM »

Pretty much so...

Bvas · « **Reply #1175 on:** October 09, 2018, 09:25:31 PM »

My only concern is.....Will the excess glue be squeezed out of that area before the riser bottoms on the form? Once the lams are pinned between the riser and form, you won’t have any more squeeze in the center.

Shredd · « **Reply #1176 on:** October 09, 2018, 10:13:33 PM »

Should be fine... Not too much different from any other riser that is rounded... It is just a smaller area... It does not take that much to compress it its only a slight angle... The lam will be somewhere around .100" thick...

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #1177 on:** October 12, 2018, 09:26:28 PM »

Ready for base coats.

Nice riser. Looks Gorilla proof too. My next RD will have the belly Lam's running all the way through similar to what you have done.
