Okay we're getting close to gluing up this bow.
My core laminations are made.
Now I cut the glass to length. I put an abrasive blade on my chopsaw. Works pretty good.
All laminations are ready.
Here is the lam stack and the riser.

Re: Elk Seeker longbow build
Time to cleanup the lams and put some tape on the glass. I also try and cut down on all the little fuzzies, splinters and finger prints, if any.
Getting the Smooth-On Ea-40 epoxy weighed up and mixed up. Then of course spread out on the bow laminations and riser.
I have the longbow all glued up and ready to be put in the longbow form.
Okay, the bow is in the form and the fire hose is all aired up. I will put the longbow form in the hot box for about 4 hours.
I don't know if I will do much on it during the weekend. We'll see?

Looks good Tom.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Re: Elk Seeker longbow build
Thanks guys.
The shop's kinda cluttered, I need to build a storage shed to make more working area. It's my garage so I have lots of stuff just sitting around that I don't need in a shop. Moving around is tight in places. For some reason it looks bigger in the pics than it is. When I do cabinets it really gets crowded.
