All white oak tri-lam
« on: June 14, 2017, 03:32:59 pm »
I have a ton of quarter sawn white oak and was wondering if I could use white oak for all 3 laminates for a reflex deflex  tri-lam bow?

Yup, some of us, like me, can't read.

Thanks for the response guys. I want to build a 70" tri-lam reflex deflex with a 60lb draw.No glass.What should my laminate stack be to achieve this. Dimensions? I'm planning on a hill style riser handle as well. Do I need to taper my laminates or can they be parallel? Thanks for any help. Just trying to get in the game!
