GETTING READY

Cutting out the riser on a bandsaw,
a sharp blade really helps.
I start with a wood block
Size: 1 1/2"W X 1 3/4"H X 18"L

The riser shape, must be feather thin at fadeouts
and a nice smooth taper from grip to fadeouts.

The butcher paper works great in keeping the work surface clean. Before starting the glue process, lay the laminations out in order. The glass has blue masking tape applied to it's smooth surface.
Once you have all the parts layed out, I put them into a warm oven. I've found the epoxy flows much easier in all the nooks and cranies of a warm lamination.

While the parts are warming in the oven, mix up your epoxy. Then cover your bow-form with clear kitchen wrap. This keeps your bow from being permanently glued to the bow form.
