Good morning from Ohio.
Got a question about lam thickness. It's been about 5 years since last bow and can't remember all of the specifics. When getting the thickness of the lams, is the fiberglass included in the stack up?
Thank you in advance.

Full thickness including glass, but without wedges. Different bowyers measure their stacks differently too. I've always measured mine 10" up from the butt. This does two different things. One you'll get more consistent readings without worrying about snipe at the butt of the lams that isn't uncommon with a drum sander.  2 is that 10" up from the butt gives you a thickness closer to the fades, and can be measured again after the limbs are laid up for a reference in the future.  .02 cents worth
