Trilam build

Fishinglink · September 26, 2018, 08:01:04 PM

Just razzing ya. He showed that he tapered the core on his jointer in the video. 4" at a time. Watched it once so far. Watch it a couple more times and I'll buy a belt sander and a six pack and make some dust. Gonna work on a template soon.

Ya I used to do the taper that way, but sold the jointer before I lost any fingers.

Now I use a drum sander and Kennym sent me a few different tapered lams to use as a pattern jig.

Built my own taper sled.

I rough cut the tapers on the bandsaw first then get them closer with the drum sander.

Hey.... i have one of them, a Roybow- Trilam- Boo, yew and osage

one of the nicest bows i have!!

and a trade between Randy and Roy, i just dont know who would be getting the better end of the deal- prolly the fairest trade i have seen in a while.
Randy builds absolutely stunning glass bows- on my wish list for sure!
and Roy builds beautiful, fast and sweet shooting trilams, i can "double attest" to that.
each one of them, top of their class in their own right!!

Roy from Pa · October 03, 2018, 09:18:24 PM

Got her cleaned up, faceted, and sanded.

Glued a wooden tip overlay over top of the horn overlay.

Nice bow Roy, just one question, in such a bow like this how much is the begining thickness taper?

Roy from Pa · October 04, 2018, 08:50:03 PM

Thanks.
About 5/8th at riser to 3/8th at tips.

kennym · October 04, 2018, 09:05:52 PM

You make this look easy Roy....

Roy from Pa · October 05, 2018, 04:15:03 AM

It's just repetition like all the others.

Just like your glass bows, bro.
