Now it's time to mix up a little epoxy and attach all the overlays.
I do the riser overlays on both sides 1st, then move on to the tip overlays. Once I have them clamped I cook each part in the small hot box.
When all parts are cooked and cleaned up, I layout to cut riser shape and prep the tips for string grooves.

Okay, here is Dave's bow at first string up.
I did some tilling. I have it pretty close to where I want it. Then I got started shaping the riser.
Now to the hand tools for the rest.
I am kinda drawn to the colors of this longbow myself. I guess it is because the high school I graduated from used green and gold.
