Just razzing ya. He showed that he tapered the core on his jointer in the video. 4” at a time. Watched it once so far. Watch it a couple more times and I’ll buy a belt sander and a six pack and make some dust. Gonna work on a template soon.

Ya I used to do the taper that way, but sold the jointer before I lost any fingers.

Now I use a drum sander and Kennym sent me a few different tapered lams to use as a pattern jig.

Built my own taper sled.

I rough cut the tapers on the bandsaw first then get them closer with the drum sander.

Hey.... i have one of them, a Roybow- Trilam- Boo, yew and osage  :bigsmyl:
one of the nicest bows i have!! :thumbsup:

and a trade between Randy and Roy, i just dont know who would be getting the better end of the deal- prolly the fairest trade i have seen in a while.
 Randy builds absolutely stunning glass bows- on my wish list for sure!
and Roy builds beautiful, fast and sweet shooting trilams, i can "double attest" to that.
each one of them, top of their class in their own right!!

Got her cleaned up, faceted, and sanded.

Glued a wooden tip overlay over top of the horn overlay.







Buddy was here and has his bow in preparation.

Osage belly lams and red elm core lams Z spliced and riser block glued up.

It's just repetition like all the others.

Just like your glass bows, bro.
