Quote from: ocd on March 16, 2026, 05:31:22 PMmade a glass bow for my niece and it came in a little heavy. need to remove around five pounds. Can I sand just the belly glass to help reduce weight? I already have the back skinned with artificial snake skin so I don't want to sand the back. The glass is .040 thk. how thin could I safely reduce this. How about trapping would that be a better option? Should I trap the Belly or The Back? Thanks.

Without more description it's hard to say what the best course of action is. How heavy is it now? How wide?

Nice. What's the price?

I like it! 

What's the blade length?

So it's probably already a narrow light weight bow. Keep in mind the weight is already small so more work to get the weight off.if you got. 040 glass to start that should be no problem. For a kids bow .030 glass may have been better. Better a thicker front than belly. So sand the belly as Kirk said keeping an eye on things as you go.

The working man's knife, at a regular guy price. Fancy knife companies are going to really hate us. The quality of this knife is incredible. Lifetime warranty.

Very nice!

thanks for responses guy's. Hey Kirkll how thin can I safely go on sanding the belly glass. Thanks
