Title: Limb Lam Examples
Post by: Savage on February 07, 2011, 02:06:00 AM
I am going to build some 2 wood limb laminations soon and I am looking for examples. If you have pics of some that you have done or seen that would be great. Thanks!

Ordered parts to build a guy a bow on friday so I'll probably start on it in two weeks. Gotta go outa town for training. Don't know if I will do that with his bow but most likely on the next one.

Nice bow. I'm looking for 2 wood types on the face of the limbs similar to what Blacktail does to theirs. Hahaha

Here is a couple that never made it into any of my bows before I sold the lams.

Also made a few more with no pics.

Hope this is what you are lookin for...

Wow Bodork; that is some beautiful work.
And Kenny M; I like the looks of those lams too, I e-mailed you about an order eariler today and would not get a bit mad if you accidently dropped one or two of those into the order! LOL.

Kenny and Bodork, thanks for chiming in. That's exactly the type of examples I'm looking for. Trying to accumulate some ideas.

Kenny, do you stock those or just make them for your bows?

Bodork, awesome job on those limbs!
