I don’t make many bows and don’t sell any but I’m gonna build them this one.
Box elder lams and thin scales of the same on sides of a curly ambrosia hard maple riser.
Just started on it.

I decided to build a new form for this one. Old form had been redone about 3 times due to changes because I didn’t like the bow off it .

I have center marks on edges of all lams to keep an eye on with centerline on form.
Once you have the riser tys cranked down, tighten the mid limb tys.
Put 10 lbs in the hose, let it sit a few and cut tys and pull out, then 10-15 lbs at a time with a rest period each time.
Works for me, and I also have washers on the forms at a couple inches from ends of riser and at mid limb. If you have a lam with a crook in it, the tip end doesn't matter as much as the riser end and midlimb.
Don't crank the washers down super tight against the stack, did that once and ended up with a fat spot on limb edge . Try to tiller around that!! :biglaugh:
Now before I put her in the oven, I loosen and then snug the washers, and take a scrap and wipe the squeeze out glue down between the plastic sheets that are under and over the bow blank...

This one is right in the wheelhouse for my trade victim too. I may start one more and decide when I get clearance to ship... :laughing:

I'm not a speed chaser , I like a bow that shoots easy and fairly quiet, this one met those. The guy that gave me the lumber picked it up and shot it at my outdoor target. After a few shots, he could have killed a deer at 10-12 yards easily. I told him to start 3 under to get the arrow closer to line of sight to start and change if he wanted after getting used to it.
Thanks Brad!!
