(1/5) > >>

boughnut:
any one want a glue up build along?  not sure if there has been many posted and I have seen many questions about bamboo backed or hickory backed bows.  I will be willing to show the process for your choice of

Bamboo backed osage or hickory

bamboo backed and belly 6 lam

if you are interested let me know and what type I will put it to a vote.

sharpend60:
Id like to seem bamboo planed by hand.

I'd like to try a glue up but no access to power tools.
If thats the way you do it, by all means, show me!

boughnut:
well I dont normally do it that way but I have in the past before I got some tools.  I taper my boo now so it will be different but I will do it.  what kind of tools do you have to work with I will match your tools and work a piece down.

   I'd  like  to see  a  build  along,,,,my  problem  has  been  bo  planing!!!  and  belly  thickness,,,,,,,,,,,,come to  think  of  it,,,,I'm   not  good  at  any  of it?   JeffW

boughnut:
ok I will do another tirlam bow and document all steps since some of you guys have hand tools I will do my best to use what I think most people should have in there bow building tool box and no power tools.  I think what yall need is a good CALIPER AND MICROMETER SET you can find them online cheap and will save you of all the guess work.  I will be using one of them.  I will start tonight.  Bamboo back Blood wood core hickory belly I am thinking.  I might change that combo up a bit.  This bow will go to my stepdad when it is done.  I have never done a build along so please ask any questions I do not cover and any suggestions you want to add are welcome to.  I will try to make it as detailed as posible.
