Thank you for a very informative video series. You should be a " bow build lecturer " at archery university. First time seeing this exactly 5 years later to the day.

Looks very Thunderbolt / BowTec(ish). Very good, try some bamboo though, makes all the difference.

Dave - Great series. Do the wood laminations need to have grain oriented correctly (straight) like in wood non-lamintated bow? or does that laminations with the fiberglass take care of that were grain does not matter as much?

i have fiberglassed a bow with 2 part apoxy and it just didnt seem right and after drying i left the bowq for about a week and i noticed the fiberglass was bubbling and with further examination i discovered that the apoxy resin was damp and tacky under neath the fiberglass any advice you can give would be greatfuly appreciated i am new to the fiberglass system i dont know if it is the fiberglass at issue or the apoxy the bow works but i does need a little reenforceing we do not seem to get the same quality of fiberglass i can only get the matting and not the thicker fiber yours truly jack boyd
