Great Job Benbow!

That's very nice. I know you were experimenting with the Groves dynastress method of pre stressing limbs. How is that going?

Bill I had some trouble with the glue I was using and had to start over. I do have one limb glued up but have to grind another set of veneers and lams to do the second limb. The one that's done looks good but will know more once both are on the riser, which btw is the one in these pictures.

Hank I used my friends bandsaw and it had a 1/2" wide blade that looked like it had 6 to 8 teeth per inch.
