Here is my first attempt at a tri-lam. It is hickory backed ipe with a walnut core. Handle lams are purple heart, wenge, and bacote. I used smooth on for glue and I really like it since there is no joint creep. 50 # @ 27" 64"ntn. Dead quiet with no discernible handshock. I started with about an inch of reflex and finished about flat. Finish is spar urithane satin spray with johnsons paste wax. I really like the spar spray, it gives a very durable slightly textured finish. Thanks for looking.

Wow Cody, this is one of the most beautifully crafted bows I've seen. Awsom craftsmanship. A bow like this makes me want to build one like it for my self. Can you give the dimensions please?
-
forgot to give the dimensions. 1" wide at the fades with a straight taper to 7/16" tips.

Nicely done Cody

Thanks Guys. Chris, I tapered everything .002" per inch.
Does that mean all three lams are tapered? So that would be an overall taper of .006" per inch? (or am I being thick? ::))

That is a beauty! Looks like some super straight grain on your hickory backing as well. Very nice work.
-
NICE!
LOVE IT!
-
Thanks everyone. I really like the way this one turned out.
@ Del, Yes the total taper is .006" I had to do some tillering to get the poundage down but I wouls say that that was about right for a bow of this dimensions.
@ GB, I sawed this hickory fully quarter sawn from a very straight 36" stave.
