Title: Lazer engraved limb lams or veneers?
Post by: razorsharptokill on April 25, 2007, 10:59:00 PM
I've been wondering how this would work. If it was lightly one do you think it would adversely affect glue up?

I was thinking about snake skin patterns. Think it's possible? I may go by the local sign shop and see if it is even feasable on a 2" X 36" lam.

Dick Robertson offers it on his bows in a snakeskin pattern.Looks ok in the pictures.

I had this eagle and this American flag lasered into the bamboo before I glued these limbs up for the bow I sent to Iraq. the biggest problem was their machine would only hold a piece 24" long. I just spliced the limbs with cocobolo. It didn't affect the glue-up at all.  (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/mikebaker/Iraqbowsprayedclose-ups001.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/mikebaker/Iraqbowsprayedclose-ups002.jpg)
