Hey guys,
Been some time since I have been able to build any bows lately do to work and other commitments. Today I started getting ready to glue up another Hill style bow that I wanted to make. Thing is I haven't built anything in some time and forgot the layout of the lams in the glue up. I am looking for back to belly for the core lams.

They include 1 .001 taper and 2 .002 taper lams. All will be on the back side of the riser with only the belly veneer running up the fades on the belly of the riser.

I would think that I would go with the .002 taper lams first and then the .001 taper then the riser.

Is this correct? Does it really matter?

Thanks guys... I'll post pics after I glue it all up.

Doesn't matter, it's only a glass bow...    

But I dunno anyway....

As much as I hate to admit it, Roy's probably right.  

I haven't really experimented to see the effects, but I doubt there are any.

So how would you put the lams John

From back to belly:
0.002 Taper
0.001 Taper
the parallel (assuming you have one parallel)
0.002 Taper

No real reason other than it looks better when you veiw the lams along the edge of the bow when finished.  That's how I've laid up the last couple Hill style bows I've made with a total 0.005 taper.

Doing up this bow I'm doing .003 total taper and no parallel in it. We will see how it works out.
