Don't forget to transfer the riser centerline to the glass if anything moved cuz you are prob gonna grind it off cleaning glue up, this one was good except for the parallel lam. I saw it while gluing but didn't mess with trying to move it because all else lined up good .

Here she is all cleaned up on one side and now to run her thru the thickness sander for the other side.

Hi Lucky

[kennym]

Now to lay out limbs , this is a 58" so I mark 29" each way from center of bow . OOPS wrong pic!! Almost laid out a 60"  LOL

[kennym]

Now I've squared across where I marked the 29" from center . No pics sorry.

Mark center at centerline and at 29" marks and stretch a string from nock marks

This one is off a little bit . The tips should be in line with centerline mark.

[attachment=1]

I clamp a piece of mono at each end and check

[attachment=2]

Here I move both tips the same way to bring in line with center
