I just completed this bow yesterday, and I have been working on it here and there for the last month or so.  I think it is my best glass bow to date and I am really happy with it.  It is a Bingham T/D longbow...the limb make up and length just as the plan intended.  I suggest you guys/gals give this plan a try...I would say it is the best longbow design I have shot yet.

Final specs are:

66" NTN, 55# @ 28", 1.5" limbs

After all overlays, about 30 pieces of material.  

We start with the riser.  Grey action wood + white glass + red phenolic + Rosewood

 

The Bingham templates. I usually glue these up to a piece of plexi glass or wood for future use.





Inlay the rosewood into the riser:



Almost tight enough:

Cut the angles.  I used my bandsaw this time as I did not prepare a jig on the tablesaw.  After the cut, I ensured the angles were flat by sanding on a flat surface:

Overlays:

I made the limbs, here they are out of the oven:



Now, overlays for the front/back:



Sand with 80 grit:

I found it is much better to sand the fades prior to adjusting final width (to avoid excessive rounding of the edges):

Now for tip overlays:  Red Phenolic and glass

Assembled in rough form.  Lined up great using the Bingham drilling jig.

Now for the riser





Sanding to ensure the riser/limbs match up:

How I initially check for tiller:




After a couple hours of sanding:

After sanding down to 220

Final finish sanded, ready for 2 sanding sealer coats of TB epoxy



Then 3 light spray coats, and a couple frost coats...still the best $10 I ever spent on a sprayer:

Notice..I put a brass insert in the riser in case I try out a plunger button.

Completed:

Wow Beautiful Bow. Great Job. Thanks

Very, very, Nice!! I like the shape of the riser.

Great wood choices and finished product. I have to agree with you on that bow design- one of the better ones you can get. Thanks for the pictures.
