Monterey,
I like that riser
what wood did you use?

That's the bow I'm copying.  It's a vintage Damon Howatt Monterey that suffered a split limb tip.   It's just in the  picture to compare to the template made to copy the bow. 

I don't know what the wood is.

Flem...  Cool tools don't count if you are screwing up...  It's the end of the day...  I am tired and hungry...  I am gonna cut these lams to size while there is light and then glue them up after dinner...  After cutting my hyper lams I noticed that one lam was flipped the other way... After lots and lots of choice words I got to thinking...  I really did not feel like making another set of lams...  I was lucky enough that I had a little over a 1/4" to spare...  So I super glued the butt of one lam back on reinforced it with some paper and  trimmed to size...  Disaster averted...

Got to feed the most important tool. Only way it's going to stay sharp

Hmmm never thought of paper cores before   

Mike, those are high tech lams:)

That part gets cut off...  I just needed the full length for glue-up...  But I have actually made paper tip wedges before...

Went crazy with my drum sander today,
I think the Nor-Easter that headed our way messed my thinking up a wee bit
poor limb pads ended up at 3.5 long,,for some dang reason I had a mark there
and DU ,,, sanded right up to the mark,,,glue is my friend,,,repeat,, glue is my friend,
,
Now Ive got to mess around with that dang pesky-EVIL-Black-Palm
and fix the mess I've made,
I need a nap,

later all
cheers

Did you cut the paper template for the riser from the plans kennym sent you?
Looks kind of thin back to belly

Well Shredd. Paper is wood in a different form. 

Ya know somepin Crooked-sticky, paper airplanes fly fast too:)

 

wanted a drum sander, but I'm too cheap to buy one,
and the one i have on my drill press is a small cheap one, don't like it,
so,
spent the morning making a Jig, for my 4" belt and disk sander,
I now have a 1/2 drum sander all plum and square  wood i used is laminated maple shelving I had laying around,
so its nice and flat, drilled a bunch of holes where the motor sits on the shelving, so it gets air flow

cheers

Nice Mod...  Ditch that motor and put a real motor on there...  That one might work for sanding your nails though...

I can't figure out how that's going to function as a drum sander? Looks like a belt sander on edge.
You are not the only cheap one here!

John
