I did a build-a-long on another site and though yall may want to see it as well. I just included the pics in order that the bow was made. I made this bow from scratch including the laminates inside the limb. She is 62" long, 6" brace height and 45lbs with traped limbs.
These pics show the progression from lumber to laminates. I am using pignut hickory.Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.

The final product except for being sealed. I trapped the limbs as well. That means the cross section of the limb looks like a trapazoid. this makes the limb lighter and faster.Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.
