Ready to do some contouring tomorrow a d cut the shelf.

Looks like you did it
Is the string tracking good?

 

Mad max, it is adjustable. I put in the  side to side adjusting screws in the detent dovetail.
All work was done from same side of riser on my milling machine.

Looking good!! 

I made exactly one ILF riser with a tablesaw, router , and various other tools, but no mill!!  Last one for me!!

I got about 3 hours in the machining and setup. Half that is figuring out how and setup!

  Looking good there, mr. Fancy Pants...     

I got lots of Fancy ideas! 
We'll see how well I can execute them.
Handle overlays, quiver bolt inserts...

I want to do everything I can think of on this first riser and use 1 riser as the learning platform.

I found some fancy mosaic knife scale pins with deer, boar and all kinds of other designs I can incorporate..

I used a heavy rubber line and a ton of clamps to get the overlays on. It worked!
Used EA40. Got some more shaping to do, but it shoots!

Now got to decide what finish to put in it. Sanded to 400

Looks good from here.

Man that looks great!  I am hoping to start on my second bow after Christmas and wanting to dry something a little fancier this time too!  Thanks for the inspiration.

Very nice work!

That is sharp...

Looks super!!

Next up is to make some take down limbs. Need to get a thickness sander.

Are you going to make ILF limbs?
https://www.google.com/search?q=ilf+limbs+measurements&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS770US770&sxsrf=AOaemvI8odXxRyqAv9SIWttyEW4F_yjZdw:1640010192355&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjZysWHyvL0AhWISzABHYPOBzUQ_AUoAnoECAEQBA&biw=1517&bih=694&dpr=0.9#imgrc=EYKzprxrUjtNdM

I am thinking about it. I know I will be making a standard 3 piece longbow. I have those ILF measurement drawings stashed away.

Got to work out the wedge details for ILF. Probably use G10 for the wedge to get the strength.  Could prove to be time consuming,  but would love to make some custom wood overlay ILF limbs. Not many people doing them at all.

I believe Greg Coffee might make some.

I want to make some normal limbs first to get the experience of laying up and making a set.

I am getting a Byrnes Thickness Sander after the new Years.  He is not taking orders until Jan 1st.

I need a way to make the lams the same consistently.

I got the dark lambs in the riser a few thousand off and you do not notice it until you make a long diagonal cut across them, like on the limb pads.

Looks great Hillbilly

It looks like the limbs don't sit flush on the pads? I know I missed something there?
