Congrats Grandpa!!!  After seeing how happy my Dad was I'm thinking the only thing better than being a Dad is being Grandpa.

  I tried a 24" leather backed Ipe for my daughter...kept me busy while she was healing.  It ultimately failed.  Got to 8" I think before it ripped a splinter from the back.  Wife wouldn't let me toss it out and she cried when it broke LOL.  From what I've seen on bending bows here I'd think a stick of osage would work :)
