I think it's 7 ply. plywood
1-1/2" form

I got the riser pattern template to fit the form done today and pattern sanded some Osage.
I will make one for the riser belly to pattern sand most of it.

Riser is 16"



Walt Francis sent me his so I measure it up
I was close in most of it but the fades.
Walt's is 63#@27"

 

This should be good!!   

I reckon it will have some oomph!

Still a lot of work to do on the form, it has a little warp from end to end so I have some angle iron to bolt to it, and the hardware for the form and the washers to keep the lams in line. I may have to make the form hardware because of the angle iron being in the way.

 

50# now still needs rounding over 

Off the form and buggers cleaned up.



Profiled the limb width





The other bow is behind my bow, mine needs a little tiller adjustment.




I put the 2 pictures together on paint

 

Nice job...

Gonna be a lot of sheepeating now.

 

That's a cool little bow. I wanted one of those Sheepeater's when they were being made but never got around to it.

I looked for many years and never could find one.

Well ya have a nice one now....

 

Interesting design. What taper rate are you using and what was used in the Sheepeater?

Same as the Sheepeater, .00something
