RE: The Pass Around Build A Long
I can only assume your boo core was a bit thick.
Before glueing up I measured both limbs and the total thickness was .374, altho I did use calipers to measure them.
Yesterday I went and brought me a Micrometer and will do all my future measuring with it.

RE: The Pass Around Build A Long
Ok I have the lams all ready for the new limbs.
Gonna change the wedges tho
Instead of Leopardwood I am going to laminate Redheart, Purpleheart and Bubinga lenght wise so from the sidethe different colors will run along the limb and the back of the wedge when finished will compliment the riser
I have never seen laminated wedges before and I think they are gonna look cool[8D]

I still have no idea of what I am going to do the tip overlays with yet, but be sure I will find something that'll look good
Hoping to have it finished this week end

Remind me to go over to your house

It will stick but I am not sure if it would be any good or not.
Besides that I dont think we really need to get that fancy
but hey maybe make some broadheads out of it for the werewolves that are roaming the woods
