I am new to this site and new to Mr Parker's bows. I don't know if anybody has seen this bow or not, but I thought I could show you my Bamboo Dragon that I was fortunate enough to acquire.  Made in 2005, 60" and 55@28. Just beautiful work!

Wow, that's an attractive bow. How do you tiller the raw bamboo belly?

Title: Re: dana Ms new bow
Post by: james parker on January 14, 2009, 03:07:46 pm

the belly lam isnt raw it has been heat tempered,to charcoal,then the charcoal is removed with paper tape.tillering is done before glueup...

Title: Re: dana Ms new bow
Post by: Gordon on January 14, 2009, 05:15:45 pm

Ah, that makes sense. Do you taper both the belly and the core lams?
