Ok So I would like to build a glass longbow. I have made alot of self bows but never a glass bow. I would like to do a 50#@28" hill style bow 64" ntn. I would love to make it narrow like a Bear Montana long bow, but am flexible about this. I want to post as I go like a build along but I'm hoping you guys could help me figure this out as I go because I have no experience with these kinds of bows. So first I guess would be the form. Is there simple 2x4 or 2x8 flat form I could make? Also I believe I can get laminations from 3rivers. Does somebody have a list of the lams I would need? I am also flexible on what woods I use. And maybe a template for a riser block? Thanks in advance for any help or advise you guys can give. I hope to post pictures as I go although it may be a slow process!
Check out binghams projects for supplies. They carry glass and laminations of all kinds. Even have some charts for lam stacks and such.
3Rivers has Hill style risers already cut to shape....
