Did you heat the curves in after the bamboo was glued up?

Radius, how did you apply pressure to the laminations, you need to leave it clamped at least 12 hours in dry weather. Did you wrap it in inner tubes?  Steve

I pretillered the 9/16" osage slat and heated in the curves like it was a selfbow, then glued on the power lam,then the bamboo.

Red mahogany stain on all by the way.

wrapped it in plastic, clamped it into place, then added a pressure board and clamps between the clamps that were holding the shape...next time i will leave it longer...usually, my blanks retain their shape...

Very nice, Dave. The braced and unbraced profile are quite sexy!     Pat

Radius, I have noticed that clamp time on the glue container too. They certainly don't mean something under tension.   Of course this one of mine was done by heat bending a core piece, not through form glue up.  I used simple form tp get a little more reflex in the boo glue up.  My booo was from just a 2.75 inch diameter pole
