I've actually never knew it was typical to crown a laminate bow. (shows how many I've made, :) ) The most I've ever did is round the edges. Never time I will give it a try, I guess the square look isn't too great really now that you guys mention it, :).

I follow you now, been doing that by eye but a line makes good sense.

Badger - basically just facet lines but only 1/8th apart and 2 or 3 per side. If you mark them accurately it makes it next to impossible to deviate from straight as they all converge at different points.

First, that is a beautiful bow!  Second, what finish did you use on the maple and what is it backed with?  How long did it take you?  Beautiful job!

It didn't take me too long. I cut the pieces out pretty close to dimension before I glue up (which allows me to glue in even relfex easily). So most of the work is done with my bandsaw. This bow had a pretty bad twist, which I thought doomed it at first. But by removing enough wood on the stronger side, it came around. The finish is a light tru oil, really should of did more coats but I ran out. And thank you!
