: Hi Doug,
: That would work but I was thinking of the laminations being the other way, a
: stack of 3/4 by 3/4 or 1/2 inch strips. Easier to make/do than three wide
: 1/4 inch pieces.
: This is the method I plan on using on my Shooting Star as I don't have access

These bow pieces look so nice in hardwood, and there's a durability issue, too. You could cut the profiles in 3/4-inch stock, and then rip the 1/4-inch thicknesses in the resulting pieces, which are only a few inches high. Any saw would do that.
