2022 what did you do today?

Mike Treadway showed me a set of lams the other day from ZEBRA wood. Looked like a propeller. He cuts them and I believe he lets them set awhile. If they propeller, he does not use them.

Twisty lams will work, but probably not optimally because of the built in stress.
But if you oppose rather than nestle the twist, it cancels the effect. Got to get creative if you are a collector of marginal wood

The limb I was having trouble with does have the grain running the same direction front and back. I think it's exactly what Kenny explained. The other limb they're opposite and it was pulling straight. Lesson learned.

You wouldn't think it would make any difference , but I've learned it does. Twice...

That looks like it fit back together nicely!

Have to say have not used zebra that much in veneers. But I think it could be ground to .020. And like Kenny said orient there out opposite front and belly.

B-JS, That is awesome! What kind of carbon you got on the back of the bow? Is it clear glass with a carbon weave of some type under it?

That's full Carbon at Back and belly.
Got it from China.
Looking for a manufacturer in Germany since years.
Maybe i'll get one soon.

With your skills BJ, I am surprised you are not making your own laminate.

B-JS · January 04, 2022, 09:43:05 AM

I have done this.
But it's to messy and i Lack the time, Space and Motivation to do it.

I'm searching for a manufacturer, that makes me lams by my specifications for a resonable price.
First prototypes are about tonbe testet soon.

B-JS · January 04, 2022, 12:14:24 PM

Done.

Nice work BJ. I like the fact that no sleeve or wrap are needed for the two piece.

Carpdaddy · January 05, 2022, 08:57:47 AM

Made a little progress last night.
