Title: Little spare time = 3 sets lams
Post by: kennym on March 20, 2016, 05:40:00 PM

Had a bit of shop time this weekend, so did something I enjoy, made some custom lams!

I made some of these for a trade bow a couple years back so thought I'd try some more. The wave should stay on the limb as it tapers for a pretty cool look. Let me know what you think of em!   :)

Very nice, Kenny.  

I have just recently started grinding my own simple lams and believe me, it has given me a whole new and higher level of respect for the work you are doing!   :thumbsup:

I never understand how you guys who splice like this can get things to fit up so nice, I struggle just splicing to 36" vote lame lol. Never seen splices run like that I bet that would make for some really eye catchen limbs...very nice

Get two boards the same width/length/thickness. Put them one on top of the other then run them both through your bandsaw at the same time........and you can work it out from there!!!
