Morado scales , usually none that light. Walnut veneers hand picked to go with the riser

Looks like it's going to be 2 nice risers

Continued work on my lam bow. Looks like I have the clamping sorted to where I can close the gaps at the ends of the riser and extra lam I added. Figured I would post a few semi-artistic shots showing the zero thickness tapering on the various pieces.

The riser. Shaped with a flush trim bit in my router, then feathered by hand:

The extra lam, feathered with my thickness sander:

My tip wedges, feathered from 0.096" to zero over 4" on my thickness sander:

I glued up this tri-lam boo/cherry/red oak with osage accents on Christmas Day and have been working on it slowly since. Shoots very well so far.

Looking good, you do a first class job on the lam bows. Dimensions/specs? That's going to look great as the osage darkens over time.

Cool looking tips.

No posts in 2 days! Is everyone hungover or what?

I did a full clamp up dry fit today. Everything looks good now and I should be gluing it up in the next couple days.

I also drilled a couple dowel holes in my riser and lams to align everything.

So why does experience hurt so much?

Use 2 dowels everybody said. It aligns everything automatically they said. You know what else it also does? It puts a dowel right in the middle of my sight window.

I didn't catch it until after the holes were drilled, of course. It won't compromise the riser structure since the back lam is one piece and will provide the tension strength there, but it is going to show and look ugly. The next bow gets one stinking dowel.
