Roy, two questions for you.

1st- what type of adhesive do you use? I’m assuming smooth-on but assuming is dangerous.

2nd- what is the benefit of a trilam such as this over a straight up BBO?

Unibond800 glue.

Trilams, being 3 pieces rather than 2 pieces, the belly and core lams are thinner.

Therefore it's easier to bend two thinner lams than one thicker lam, so they will take on a smoother sexier bend and hold it better..

For a BBO, I made the belly lam 1/2" thick. Pretty hard to bend a 1/2" thick board to any degree!

For a trilam, the belly is 1/4" thick and core lam is usually 3/16th thick or even less depending on poundage I need.

Thanks Roy. That makes sense when it comes to bending, hadn’t thought about that. That’s not how Dean did it though.

I don't know if he ever made trilams or not.

But it's the same principle as his bbo's, just an added core lam.
