Pat I hope this is okay. The frets don't extend past these two blue lines.  Only about a three inch area.  I shot it maybe a dozen times and looked, there they were.  They look to be very shallow.  Do you think I could get away with one lam?

Then I would do very thin lams. It's gonna be hard to get them to stay on

The walnut will work fine. I will need to see pics of the fret and the area it is in to make a definite decision.
If the area will be bending, a few thin lams of graduating lengths should have enough give but it will depend on how much give is needed to determine the length and layers you'll need.
 I've never used epoxy so I can't speak to that. TB glues will work as will Urac(Unibond now)and other glues.

I've never done this but I would go with what Pat said if I were gonna attempt it.

That's the back you are showing. Are they cracks across the back or checks on the belly. BIG difference!

Yes I know there's a big difference.  They are on the belly.  This was the only pic I had of the bow.  I could take another if need be.

That is a cool looking little bow Katt, I love the handle and humps and bumps.

that's looking real good wildkatt, i hope it's headed this way, i'd love to get my paws on another one of yours, the one i got from you is still one of my favorites and i shoot it all the time.

anyways i'm still debating weather to keep going and send plan A or move on to plan C (i already screwed up plan B LOL), plan A has about 200 shot's through it and has about 1 1/2" of reflex after shooting and goes back to about
2 1/2" after about 30 minutes, i started with 3 1/2" of reflex, it is quite a good shooter but i for sure need to reduce the tips a bit though.
