Thanks everyone. It's been a fun ride.
Flem, wish your Dad a happy 90th. That's another mile post I'm looking forward to.

Got some carbon limbs going for my personal bow.

Very nice! Where did you get your carbon from? I want to do some carbon soon.

That is the .020  2 ply twill from Rosewood Shop.  The layup is .020 twill .030 glass then core then glass amd twill again. It adds no stiffness only makes the limb rock solid vertical. So it is part of the stack. The 6 ply has uni layer and is used on the front only.

99, that is awesome.  Longevity runs in my dad's family. Maybe I will get it....

Went to my local credit union one day and they had 100th banners and signs up everywhere.  I asked what it meant  and a gentleman beside me said "its my birthday!" He honestly did not look a day over 75. Was sharp as a tack, still driving. There was a woman in a wheel chair in the corner with an oxygen tank. Looked like she was 100.  It was his 80 something year old daughter!

Was texting with a hunting buddy today who has a barn full of 30 yr old osage posts.  Here's what he does with them.

Osage is so hard to get where I live.

Actually did this yesterday. This was my first new design riser. This the third set of limbs. First set got a twist that I fixed but would not stay. The second set is fine and I just wanted the twill set on here (my bow) Anyhow they are rock solid and really quite.
This is Frogwood black riser with osage and maple. The layup is
.020 twill
.030 red core tuff
.110 bamboo
.030 red core tuff
.020 twill =41@28 at 62 in. N to N
zero vibration after the shot.

Max the core tuff is .030 glass so two of those. Without the twill I would use two .040 glass. On a 40 lb. Bow two 30s prolly be plenty.
I think Widow use .050 6 ply on the front that has a layer of uni with the twill and the 2 ply .020 on the belly.

Shop smells nice tonite, taking sapwood off a Juniper stave and some twisted iron. To be something to hang pots from over a fire.

Nice ironwork, Bue. What is your plan for the juniper?
