Glued on Siyahs question...

[Onebowonder]

I getting ready to try a glued on Siyah bow.  Never done such, but this diagram below is the idea I came up with for doing this.  Does it look practical?  Have any of you done this and did you use a method like this or something else?  I'm planning to use TB2 to glue this up and then wrap the joints with either glue saturated silk thread or B-50.

A four inch long v-splice is all thats needed. No wrapping. Also rotate your syhia's 90 degs or you will have a funny looking bow....

Lol mikes right. If you do it like that I'm pretty sure your core will split lol. Turn that thing 90. And you'll be just fine

Nope, that's going to try to lever it apart.
The V should be as viewed from the back or belly not the side.
Just like a handle splice.

Thanx for the replies!  This is why we ask questions, ...before we try something stupid!

Here's another visual. The only difference being that the backing overlays the splice.  Not really necessary.

Onebowonder, this basically how Fenno-Ugriann two-wood bows were maid.
Here is an excellent example: http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/topic/29305/North-Eurasian-laminated-bow#.UIG_asWCkZl

At first, I would keep the siyahs rather short, say 4 to 6 inches excluding the splice, but quite thick, say about 3/4 inch.

Yup, Georgie.  He has my number.  Right down to the four digit extra tacked onto my zip code.
