Build on brother....I have some hickory that I plan on doing the same with. Just not going to back it.

Cool build-a-long! lookin forward to the rest of it. Luan board is typically made from a mahogany, can't remember which type of mahogany though.
gstoneberg:
That's what I remember too, but the mahogany layer is quite thin, basically a veneer if I remember right. I'm thinking it is a 3 layer plywood with 2 thin exterior layers (one being mahogany) with a thicker center layer? Been awhile so I could certainly be wrong. For its thickness I remember it being pretty strong. I'm really curious to hear how it works out.
I hate it when I break a band saw blade in the middle of something. I usually keep an old blade around so I'm not totally dead. My current blade is a half inch skiptooth that really goes through osage. I need to pick up a spare as it's the first one like this I've used and I REALLY like it. Doesn't cut a curve worth a hoot though.

OK. Got the blade and got the rest of it cut out.
Tips/levers side profile From fade to tip .75 to .50
Front view. Handle 4" x 1" Fades 1.75" to woking limbs. Working limbs 12" into 1.75 lever fades. 9" levers. .75 at fades to .50 at tips.
Side view. 1" handle. Fades 1" to 1.50" at working limbs. Fades at levers 1.25 1" tapering to .50
Trying to decide on tip overlays or just nocks. Soon as I decide that, Ill start the tillering.
