Post by: Mad Max on January 25, 2017, 04:59:00 PM

This is a Bingham 60" Recurve
Crazy Cocobolo and Canary Riser
30@28
I have narrowed this design down to 1.4 wide
This Crazy Cocobolo is very light in color

Mad Max

   I'm just a beginner and have built two bows to
date, a one piece and a take down recurve. I'm starting on a new take down recuve and would love to know how to do the footed laminations
on the limbs.Do you have photos that show the
process that you would be willing to share?

Luzern, Troy Breeding (a TG sponsor) sells spliced veneers, and will custom grind your core laminations for a very reasonable price. And his customer service is top notch! There are also other sponsors here that offer some amazing lams from time to time.

Great looking bow Max!

I do not have any info. on that.
Like Pheonix. said

You just need some more time to gather info. and it will come.

Good luck, we are all here to help

Read both of these all the way.It's the same process as the veneers.
