Quad lam - 4 laminations - Why not more?
Thesquirrelslinger:
mikekeswick- All I am trying to say is that the more glue-lines, the more chances for you to make a mistake.
i doubt its 6 percent for a quad lam bow....
And yes, i have done some in both geometry, alg 1, and we are starting with it in trig.

I couldn't disagree more. Unless your glue lines are very poor, there is absolutely no reason to think the bow is more likely to fail.

Do something once.Chances are you will get it right.
do something 100 times. chances are you will screw one or 2 or maybe many more up.
this is my reasoning- even though a properly prepared glueline almost never fails.
Those of you who have made laminated bows- have you ever had a glueline fail? How many have you made?
Lets stop this bickering(come on, we are acting like high school girls) and just agree to disagree.

As mentioned in a previous post, I've made bows in the hundreds... mostly laminated, and I have NOT had one glue line failure. I've broken bows on the tiller plenty, but not one has broken as a result of a glue line failure.
Sorry, I don't agree with you. Practical experience tells me otherwise. Disagreeing is not bickering... it's just an opinion that differs from yours. I do try and base my opinions on experience.
Do something once, it might be good... do something 100 times and it'll likely be better.

sounds good.
just every time I try to glue up more than 2 layers for anything i botch the glue-up.
