    I’m about 30% through my first one. Realized it still had moisture so it’s hanging out in the corner of the shop til it’s dried

    Original with factory replacement parts.
    I don't know if I could do that.
    More like...I don't think I have the patients for that.
    I can rework risers to accept aftermarket limbs, but carving out the entire bow.??..that takes some serious skill.

    On tools with cast iron tables like bandsaws and tablesaws, I've found using a paste wax works best. It only takes a bit of time to save headaches later. This can will probably last well after my lifetime.

    Probably would involve some serious trial and error too on the limbs to get good (draw weight) and bilaterally equal deflection (energy transfer) of the limbs, while maintaining enough strength to not crack, both on draw or on the shot.
