Reflex/Deflex Bamboo backed Osage Tri-Lam build-a-long

<< < (4/14) > >>

wytetale:
I have my Birds eye Maple block ready. I laid some maskingtape over it and and drew my centerline on it. Now I am ready to trace the profile of the bow on it and cut it out.

Now it is cut out so I am going to sand it in so I get a really good fit to the riser, I have a pretty good fit now.

Now I am going to trace the same arc again about a 1/2" down and cut it out agian so I can  put an accent strip of osage in the riser

Here is a pic of the riser now all ready to be glued up.

wytetale:
Here it is all glued up till tomorrow. We will cut in the fades and make the lamination for the belly and get that all glued up then.
We also glued up another bow like this today but not a tri-lam. It is a 60" and it has a Bacote riser. Post some pics of that one tomorrow,

This is a very good build-a-long. I am learning much by following it. Thank you.
