I have used the Ram board too when needed and still have some.
I brush on 4/5 coats of shellac on the form and a razor blade as a scraper to flatten it back down.
I have only glued fiberglass on one form, the rest are just plywood.
I would rather fail at something above my means, than to succeed at something  beneath my means

My shop is definitely in need of a full day of cleaning. I’m eternally pig piled it seems. Once the fire danger is over and we can burn again, I’ll  roll up my sleeves , haul out the trash, and get things back in order again. Believe it or not I still know where everything is at. :biglaugh:

Mike, nothing new design wise on this bow. It’s my TD Flatliner design with a full overlay, flush limb pockets. I rarely post photos of this one unstrung and it caught my eye the other day.

This one has 2 sets of limbs with bloodwood wedges that match the center riser overlay, and an Iron wood riser. I’ll get more photos after I wrap it up and get her finished.    Kirk

Kirk. Nice bend on those limbs. Do you put screws through the ends of that full overlay?
Cruise, how do you prepare that crocodile for eating? Here in Norway we call that baby pike.

I put 10 freezer bags of stewed tomatoes in the freezer this morning with a little left over for tonight. I have the other 25# of tomatoes cooking now for the next batch. Also I'm roasting 10# of tomatillo with garlic, bell peppers, onions, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper and olive oil for salsa verde.

No hot peppers. I don't mind a little but Marcia doesn't like hot foods.
 Here is the tomatillo salsa before roasting...


...after roasting...


...and the finished product...


 I quartered up 2 limes and roasted them with the veg. Then I squeezed the juice and pulp into the salsa. Yum!!!

I posted this first picture a while back and thought I would show you the finished riser.
Here is the riser with the extended riser block
You could see the glue line while fine sanding but after spraying the finish it is gone.

On this one I cut it like taking the backstraps from a deer.  You undoubtedly know how bony they are.  This was camp dinner.   Fried in butter with mild seasoning
