easy way to taper board bows with diy jigs ?

[bow-noob]

CNC  machine ftw.

Pat - Agh ya, no access to a CNC machine, and not worth it for the scale of the project I have in mind.  I could see someday but not now, just looking for the best DIY jig or machine build that isn't to expensive or time consuming to build to be able to do the rough tapers in board bows, then i will fine tiller with just scraper.

missilemaster I have been making self bows for about 14 years, but still consider myself a noob as i have just stuck to one style of bow and one wood. how about you ?

What kind of bow are we talking about, if it's a pyramid check out my build a long, easy board bow in the how to section, i use a tablesaw in it

Hi, these are typical american flatbows  of hickory or yew backed with bamboo.

Noob as far as misslemaster he's one of the top builders here, with the number of posts you have made and questions you have asked pluss your user name ypu can probably see why he asked and why you have gotten some of the responses you have, that said glad to have you here

I downloaded those plans from that YouTube link a while ago, seems like an enexpensive thickness sander to me

totally understand !  As i said i am a total noob i can sure make a mean english selfbow of yew wood, just hand me a draw knife and a rasp and come see me in a couple of days, but i am trying to build up some tools to make some board bows. Nice to meet you too thanks for the welcome !

I havent built near the amount of lam bows as some of the guys on here so I'm still learning too. I use an aluminum taper block fed through a drum sander. I just rip it close to what I want on a bandsaw and do the rest in the sander. Welcome aboard.

Are you aiming for quantity or quality?  Sounds like you want to mass produce wooden bows.
