No problem, good luck with your bow. No I don't know him. I wouldn't go on fakebook if I was paid haha! It is a shame that people get suckered into whatever is offered to them but heyho.

Yes, good luck with the bow! I first thought you was going to have 15mm finished sal, that would be heavy. Thinning later makes sense. I like to have the wood core closer to 10 mm at the start, then laminate with horn ready thicknessed. After that take the wood down to right thickness before sinewing .
If it breaks you get to keep both parts.

Thanks again, Mike -- I'll aim for 8-9mm thickness then.
