Another trick is don’t zoom in and point the bad spots out. 

Looking good Lonnie

Nothing wrong with it, Lonnie.

Lonnie, everyone will be looking those veneers and will never notice the glue lines. That's gonna be sharp!

[Roy from Pa]

Ok maybe this is the right thread for the bow Kenny asked me to post.

Lonnie, I see one of the thicker glue joints starts right off your scarf(which is super tight ).
So I’m gonna assume you hand sanded the lams after scarfing together. A lot of the time, edges get sanded more than the center when hand sanding. This creates a center ridge on the lams so no light shines thru, but glue lines appear larger on edges.
But I agree with the others.....those lines aren’t bad.

How’d you feel about the top only grooves Kenny?

And still waiting on pics of your top only grooves Roy

Roy you did not have to show us your cranial defect 

Lonnie I see nothing wrong with those glue lines. On my scarf joints I have a short piece of phenolic maybe 12 in. at the center I have two layers of masking tape. I the run the scarfed lam thru the drum sander with the scarf joint over the masking tape The tape will give about 6-8 thousands . Go slow until the joint is cleaned up on both sides. Have had better glue lines now.

Thanks Elroy!! Brad I think they will hold up if the overlay material is strong. These look like antler. You can make a really skinny tip this way and you have as much limb as with grooves so should be a tad faster too.

Agreed....my bows glue lines tend to get tighter towards the middle and look good once the bow has been shaped...once you get it shaped up i'll bet those visible lines get less noticeable....BTW looks great to me! I have a Bear Magnum that has glue lines on the riser like that

That looks really sharp Roy! Is that a glass bow?

[Roy from Pa]

Sam, I posted the picture for Kenny and yes it is glass.

No issues with premature string loop wear ? Looks a ton easier than filling the entire loop area

Done a little fletching today. Got some Big Jim Dark Timber 600s. Cut them 29 BOP. 26 in. draw @ 40 DARTS  2 fletch BTW

Those are sharp. Curious to hear a review on the arrows. At the price I may be ordering a few dozen.

[Bvas]

I’ve been eyeing this shafts as well.

[JWheel]

 .....might just order some right...now! Looks good!

The big deal here to me is Jim did the research  and found a manufacture that could keep the price good for the working man.
