Had to move over a bit, didn't line up thru riser centerline. Did that on purpose to show how to align tips with riser...

Mad Max · « **Reply #145 on:** November 14, 2020, 06:26:53 PM »

NO, the centerline at the string groves

kennym · « **Reply #146 on:** November 14, 2020, 07:03:41 PM »

That's what I moved, same amount on both tips. See the old line I checked centerline of bow with and the new line I moved over to line up with riser center?

Looking good Kenny

I'm going to try that drawing thing next time around. I usually just eyeball them and start grinding away on 36 grit till it looks sorta like a bow.

Well dang , I was gonna get him some for Christmas ...

If you lightly sand the glass the overlay will fit better

This side needed a bit more

I double tape at the ends of overlays and finish Sanding up to tape with a pc of sanding belt folded

On curved limbs I use 2 pieces of phenolic so I don’t have to fit to limb curve. I slip a sammich bag over end of limb and using limb as a form glue the pieces together . Then take off and pre bevel the inner end to make sanding to the limb glass easier. Then glue to limb

Too dang wind and hot to hunt so I’ll do a bit more on this ...

Gonna put the belly overlay on, remember we smoothed the glass out with the curved block? Here is where it helps ya out. Easier to do a smooth curve on the disc sander than a bumpy one. Bout ten minutes and she is tight.

Also I cut a relief cut in the grip cutout , just habit to let the overlay flex a little when clamping. Just don’t cut into where the grip is gonna be ...

Marked

Fitted and relief cut

Some rough drawing for riser shape, also keeps me from reversing the overlay. I want original grain to line up ...

Shaped the ends of overlay to save work later...

She’s glued on but I put phone away when glue comes out ...
