This is a 48" bow I made for my favorite son. I used .030 clear glass, a 14" osage riser, two mcassar ebony veneers and a 36" barrell tapered actionwood p lam for the taper. You can see the p-lam fade out about 6" from each side. I glued this up on my full size, Mild R/D form. Instead of using no-gloves (given they are very large for him), I just put on a heat shrink tube (rubber electrical thing) on there and that worked well. He shot his first arrow with this bow at a little over 2 years.

Really cool Brad, I love it, he will probably be out shooting you before you know it.
:clapper:
Nice job brad. You bringing the little man to mojam?
I don't think he will be coming with me this year...He is a little young still for that 95 degree bowmaking. When are you planning on getting down there?
