Say when!
How about this winter?
McKenzie, nuff outta you son..
:laughing:
Roy, two questions for you.
1st- what type of adhesive do you use? I'm assuming smooth-on but assuming is dangerous.
2nd- what is the benefit of a trilam such as this over a straight up BBO?

Unibond800 glue.
2nd- what is the benefit of a trilam such as this over a straight up BBO?
Trilams, being 3 pieces rather than 2 pieces, the belly and core lams are thinner.
Therefore it's easier to bend two thinner lams than one thicker lam, so they will take on a smoother sexier bend and hold it better..
For a BBO, I made the belly lam 1/2" thick. Pretty hard to bend a 1/2" thick board to any degree!
For a trilam, the belly is 1/4" thick and core lam is usually 3/16th thick or even less depending on poundage I need.
Thanks Roy. That makes sense when it comes to bending, hadn't thought about that. That's not how Dean did it though.

I don't know if he ever made trilams or not.
But it's the same principle as his bbo's, just an added core lam.
Just razzing ya. He showed that he tapered the core on his jointer in the video. 4" at a time. Watched it once so far. Watch it a couple more times and I'll buy a belt sander and a six pack and make some dust. Gonna work on a template soon.

Ya I used to do the taper that way, but sold the jointer before I lost any fingers.
Now I use a drum sander and Kennym sent me a few different tapered lams to use as a pattern jig.
Built my own taper sled.
I rough cut the tapers on the bandsaw first then get them closer with the drum sander.
It's been delivered:)

Thanks Mr. Ben
Nope, just making the first bow of fall is all...
:bigsmyl:
Hey.... i have one of them, a Roybow- Trilam- Boo, yew and osage :bigsmyl:
one of the nicest bows i have!! :thumbsup:
and a trade between Randy and Roy, i just dont know who would be getting the better end of the deal- prolly the fairest trade i have seen in a while.
Randy builds absolutely stunning glass bows- on my wish list for sure!
and Roy builds beautiful, fast and sweet shooting trilams, i can "double attest" to that.
each one of them, top of their class in their own right!!
Got her cleaned up, faceted, and sanded.
Glued a wooden tip overlay over top of the horn overlay.

Nice bow Roy, just one question, in such a bow like this how much is the begining thickness taper?
Thanks.
About 5/8th at riser to 3/8th at tips.
You make this look easy Roy....
It's just repetition like all the others.
Just like your glass bows, bro.
First time braced up, 4 inches.

Came out nice. :clapper: The guy you are making it for must have requested the cut in shelf....
Thanks..
Not sure who it's for yet, too heavy for me.
Sometimes I cut in a partial shelf..
It whizzes Bowjunkie off..
LOL
Just wanted to get started making yellow dust:)
Lol. I hear ya. I like a cut in shelf. It's easy and gives you a closer to center shot. For some reason, some guys get really bend out of shape over them. I don't get it. :dunno: Seems like a personal preference thing.
I suppose:)
I like cut in shelves[emoji6]

She came out nice! I bet it's a smooth shooter.
Nice as always Roy :thumbsup:
Did that boo have wide node spacing? Do you normally only have one node on each limb?
Thanks Mr. Ben..
Shoots sweet..
Thanks Brad, Boo is always different, but just one node per limb is rare.
Now don't let this go to your head Roy, but you sure do build a pretty bow :thumbsup:
Thanks John..
It's just a bow..

I like to think of them as hand crafted beautiful (but deadly)works of art, each one special in its own way.
