Title: Tri Lam almost finished
Post by: Roy on February 09, 2013, 04:31:27 pm
Had the Tri Lam pulled to 20 inches on the tree today, not looking too bad. Has a 1/8th + tiller which is what my bow design seems to like.

Thats not looking bad at all. A little stiff mid way on the right. That cedar is going to smell great when you start sanding.

Looking good Roy - as usual!  Really like the looks of that.  Might have to add a trilam to the list of things to try.

Looks good. Nice wood combo. R/D tiller can be tricky. So far, so good.  ;)

This is the most deflexed/reflexed bow I have built. Question here. I assume that a bow of this design at brace height, the mid limbs will look more flat than a bow that has no deflex or very little deflex?

That tiller looks great Roy. Bet that is going to be a sweet shooter as well as a beauty with the tri lam.

I made the bow for my wife, it's 66 tip to tip and 30 #'s at 25. She has a plate and 4 screws in her neck and can't pull a lot of weight. Can't wait to make another tri lam, they bend so nice and look great. Pretty quick shooter for 30 pounds though.

Looks great Roy.  If your wife doesn't like it, I think we both know who will  ;)   Mr. Gunships  ;D

Post by: Roy on February 17, 2013, 12:20:17 pm
Clint & Chicken Hawk, I don't think the gunner boy could pull 30 pounds. But if she doesn't like it I'll spray it hot pink and ship it to Michigan. ;D >:D
