1st- what type of adhesive do you use? I’m assuming smooth-on but assuming is dangerous.
2nd- what is the benefit of a trilam such as this over a straight up BBO?

Unibond800 glue.
2nd- what is the benefit of a trilam such as this over a straight up BBO?
Trilams, being 3 pieces rather than 2 pieces, the belly and core lams are thinner.
Therefore it's easier to bend two thinner lams than one thicker lam, so they will take on a smoother sexier bend and hold it better..
For a BBO, I made the belly lam 1/2" thick. Pretty hard to bend a 1/2" thick board to any degree!
For a trilam, the belly is 1/4" thick and core lam is usually 3/16th thick or even less depending on poundage I need.

But it's the same principle as his bbo's, just an added core lam.

Now I use a drum sander and Kennym sent me a few different tapered lams to use as a pattern jig.
Built my own taper sled.
I rough cut the tapers on the bandsaw first then get them closer with the drum sander.

Nope, just making the first bow of fall is all...

Post by: fujimo on October 03, 2018, 10:54:14 AM
one of the nicest bows i have!! :thumbsup:
and a trade between Randy and Roy, i just dont know who would be getting the better end of the deal- prolly the fairest trade i have seen in a while.
Randy builds absolutely stunning glass bows- on my wish list for sure!
and Roy builds beautiful, fast and sweet shooting trilams, i can "double attest" to that.
each one of them, top of their class in their own right!!
Post by: Roy from Pa on October 03, 2018, 09:18:24 PM
Glued a wooden tip overlay over top of the horn overlay.
Buddy was here and has his bow in preparation.
Osage belly lams and red elm core lams Z spliced and riser block glued up.

Did that boo have wide node spacing? Do you normally only have one node on each limb?
Post by: Roy from Pa on October 22, 2018, 02:25:22 PM
Shoots sweet..
Thanks Brad, Boo is always different, but just one node per limb is rare.

I like to think of them as hand crafted beautiful (but deadly)works of art, each one special in its own way.
