Have built over 20 all wood lam.(usually Boo Backed Osage) Enjoy the occasional failures. So that said I'm going to try a very simple(no form or hot box) Glass backed and belly hickory backed osage belly Hill style longbow. Figured I'd cut everything including glass to approx. weight I want, with room on sides to adjust tiller. Question is do I use a 030 glass lam on back and 050 on belly or reverse or back and belly the same? I plan on using Bow Grip and light clamps. I'll either build straight or weight slightly if I decide I want some deflex or the opposite way for a bit of follow,
you got it right, glass is stronger in tension than compression so the heavier glass would go on the belly.
You got hit by the fever hard did'nt you John?
I would go .040 front and belly.
