Little trick

--- Quote from: PEARL DRUMS on October 11, 2023, 11:21:59 am ---I'm neck deep into another experiment using the short belly drops off a band sawn stave. I took a 30" drop and made (2) 1/2" thick lams from it. Then finger spliced a 10" long piece into both to make a 66" blank for a backed bow. So far so very good. I've burned up hundreds of those "useless" drops over the years.

Can you post or send me pics of this! I’ve got some of those too. I’d be very interested in seeing how you did this. Did you z splice them?
PEARL DRUMS:
Here you go, Dave
freke:
Nice splicing's you do, straightening with a wedge was really clever, never seen or think about that before :OK.
superdav95:
That’s awesome chris. Thanks. I’ll be putting some of my drops to good use with this idea. Thanks!
PEARL DRUMS:
A power lam would be a good idea I think. Mine is integral. When I thinned and tapered the boo I left the center 12" much thicker.
