Title: First Glass Bow * Finished* more pics
Post by: adam on October 20, 2008, 09:52:00 PM
Hey guys,
   First off i would like to thank my friend Ben who let me use his shop to build this bow and taught me everything about building glass bows. I learned alot through this process and it was more than i could have ever learned reading books. The bow is still in the rough and still needs to be sanded and shaped. Anyway its a 64" ntn R/D longbow 52# @28". I cut and ground all the lams for this bow which taught me alot. It has a shedua riser, bamboo core with birdseye maple front and back under clear glass. I didn't want to get real detailed for my frist one but i think its coming along well. Like i said i still have to add my overlays and do some more shaping just thought i would share some pics. Please let me know if you have any tips since this is my first one. Thanks

Adam
