50's style recurve 60" NTN Build along

[Mad Max]

It's JGK1269 fault

It's been a year since my last build.
Cocobolo and Bocote riser and Veneers, shooting for 45@28"
I made the veneers last year, If you want to see.  What did you do today 2023 page 53 is the start
Just a few pages and some info

These are for the mosaic strip
Walnut and Canary wood, NOT to fancy


These are flat grain coco, I made some edge grain too. This pair is .023 thick


Coco at the top with some sap wood and Bocote on the bottom.

I got the riser woods squared up today.


And the Mosaic guyed up.

No way, I basically just asked for over this on the recent reflex thread not realizing you'd started this thread!

Just a plain Recurve

Lol I switched the 50s style and 60 inch 

[Mad Max]

I'm bringing it.

I'M NOT FEELING IT, NOT ENOUGH CONTRAST. ??????????????????????

I have some Hard rock maple and Padauk
I could spray some Shellac on it and see?
Maybe I could take the walnut and Canary out and use the Padauk?

[Mad Max]

I sanded 2 lams on my .005/.002 sled, It's .005 coming out of the fades and changes to .002 to the tip.

.

I sanded all the epoxy off all the sides and cut it in half.
Resaw and milled them to .050



Also Resaw and mill the strip to .037


I put some Tape on the riser blocks and double side tape them down.



This double side tape It's .003 thick and works really good, The tape is for holding Insulation to metal buildings.
Put it down and peel of the protector. The template is taped to the riser block so I can fold it over on the tape carefully.



Off to the band saw to cut between the lines and Pattern sand them.

Very good Max. I just found out that my understanding of the phrase:bring it on,is not correct. Language

You had it correct Bue

phrase of bring
INFORMAL
used to express confidence in meeting a challenge.

Do we need Donuts today, Yes bring it on

You have your fist up for a fight,  Bring it on

[Buemaker]

Okay, thanks, good to know

[Mad Max]

This was the last one I made.
No white and black in the mosaic strip on the one's I am making.

[Mad Max]

1st stripe cooking
It's easer to make 2 riser at the same time
