What tools do you use to cut out the shelf/sight window on your lam bows?

I use a table saw.I raise the blade to the right depth and start cutting across till I get to where it flares back out and then start lowering the blade till it gets all the way down.I make slices about every 1/8".Then take a piece of wood and knock out all the little domino pieces.Then hit it with the sander to clean up and its done.My brother came in for the november hunt and I carried five blanks into the shop to work out the handles and when I came back out he couldnt believe how quick I got the five complete handles done.The finish sanding is another story.Now that takes up most of the time.

I carefully cut out the window with a band saw before glueing-up the rest of the bow.

rough with band saw and then a lot of rasping/sanding.

I use a hacksaw and a large screw driver. I make several cuts with the hacksaw then use a screw driver to chip the wood out

Band saw, rasp, and dremel tool.  And, of course, lots of sandpaper!
