RE: The Pass Around Build A Long
The second limb is in the heat box.
I got busy on the first limb.
Marked it out rough cut to shape on the bandsaw then sanded to final shap on the belt sander.
Here is a look at the Makore and Yellow heart under glass.
These pics really dont do any justice.
As soon as I warm up a little I will go back out to the shop and drill the holes in the limb and mount it to the riser.

Using the drilling jig drill the holes in the limb.
Remove the remaining tape off the limb and mount the limb to the riser.
Now we have to wait for the second limb to finish curing in the heat box.

RE: The Pass Around Build A Long
Well I got the limbs all done and have to make another set.
They came in way over weight and I could only get them down to 64lb @ 28"
Dont know what happened according to the weight chart they should have been spot on 50lb @ 28"
I will make these ones to 40lb on the chart and if they come in at 40 I will pike them to 50lb.
I called several other bowyers and no one had any answers to why they where so heavy.
My measurements of the lams where spot on so I guess it's just one of those gremlin things[8D]

Kent.
No it was .040 glassback n belly.
1 taper @ .114 at the limb butt and 3 .060 paralells for a total thickness at the butt end of .374 which the charts say is 50lb @ 28" 68" bow.
