I've started my first bow. I glued up my riser late yesterday evening and took it out of the heat box this morning. After cleaning it up, and tracing my riser pattern on it, I cut it out and ran it over the sanding wheel. Now, I've got to stain my limb laminates. After that I should be ready to put it all together in the form with some Smooth On and throw it in the heat box.

Dont use stain. Use dye for your lams.
