 :OK

   Aussie, I did something very similar to yours a couple of times but my cuts were straight and I had to fit them with a tapered insert. If I ever do it again I will do it your way so inserts are not needed.

Aside from the fiddlyness of cutting the inserts, how'd that bow turn out?

I did a mockup with some offcuts and glued it with TB3. Way too runny, though it kept its shape extremely well. I think if I tried this mockup again I would mix some epoxy with dust from the bandsaw to pour into the gaps.
