HI Guys

SORRY SORRY - i really didn't know , I usually Make all wood / Bamboo things , only made one Glass bow before so more of a experiment ,


the building principles are pretty much the same whatever materiel you use, and you can learn more about those principles here at PA than anywhere else. :)

Glass is a pain to work with, all that dust gets into your power tools, clothes, work area  and your Lungs..!!    not a healthy option  >:(  Stick with wood it makes for a much smoother bow.

globalmark,
                      You can use all the plastic, epoxy, metal screws and phenolic you want, and even the kitchen sink...But no glass, ya see, we are primitive here...LOL....................................................................I see the term "all wood bows" used pretty loosely around here at times....I never could see the separation from glass to primitive here...But, rules are rules....Bingham Projects may help you...They helped me out a lot, years ago...

Sorry, the only glass we talk about here is the stuff in the knapping section.

 Mark,
              Looking good...Make sure you are using a respirator, I remember the days of a drum sander and a glass layout...You are bringing up past memories...Here's a few pics of the only recurve I have left...This was a Bingham project and I used Curly Maple on the riser and limbs...
