I have a couple questions if you don't mind. What's the length of your relieved area? Thickness of the relief? What do you use for tenon and socket pads (or whatever they are called) ?

Next step is the fiberglass wrap correct ?

. I eyeball the lam line up when putting it on the wrapping jig. I need to round the corners and put several coats of CA glue on the tenon then paste wax on the tenon then ready to wrap.

I remember bits of Big Jim's videos but it's been a while.
Thanks again for posting this process

So you after you wrapped it in the last picture, you just sanded the riser and glass wrap to blend together? No additional steps?
All of these details are hard to visualize until you see it done. Thanks again for posting this.

I was wondering why the shelf looked so steep.

The minimum is about 3"s of total relived area.
Not to draw light away from Crooked sticks build along, but just thought I might throw some helpful tips in there for anybody interested. It looks to me like he is doing a good job.
I also quit using the tooth picks several years ago.. not necessary.
After relieving the sides, I cut mine in two, install the end caps and then rough shape the top and bottom individually. I then use a block of micarta wider than the lower tenon and attach adhesive backed 120 grit to the block.
Carefully working my way all the way around, I sand the sides evenly so as to remove any dishing. I prefer my sides to be slightly tapered, but from front to back, my tenons are with in .001 of parallel. Not real difficult, just takes patience. The tapered sides will make disassembly much easier.
Keep up the good work CS.

just one question , that might have been answered before but i can find the info. What do you use to prevent the limb that is not taking the carbon or fiberglass from being glued to it? Do you use demolding wax? maybe plastic foil...

Thanks guys. I am finding 1916s and 600s are bare shafting weak out of this bow. 40 @26. Go figure. :dunno:

Thanks for sharing. “Mine” needs a bow every now and then too :)
