 Well I thought I would try a build-a-long. Going to try for 50# @ 27" 52" n2n.  This is a backing experament. I don't know what the abbreviation would be since I'm using a luonn (flooring under-layment) backing on Hickory. I reckon it would be LBH :-\

The hickory is 3/4'  and the luonn is 3/16" I've used TB11 on both pieces.


Then I wraped in stretch wrap


The next is wrapping the bands around the whole length


The last thing for today was to induce some reflex. I put the tips on a block of 2x2 and clamped the middle down. Then slit the stretch wrap to give some drying area between the bands



If time allows tomorrow I'll draw the pattern  and maybe get it cut out. ;D

way cool Hillbilly, can't wait to see how this turns out......

Neat idea.  Isn't lauan a plywood?  I've used it under tile many times, never thought of backing a bow with it.  Sure hope it works out well.

thanks Rich and George, It is a plywood but I think it's a little tuffer. Pretty much an experamentall backing ;)
