Ipe Bow saved and finished
« on: October 01, 2009, 08:04:55 pm »
Here are some finished pics of that little Ipe Bow I made.  48" total length 46.5" ntn, 3/4" wide until midlimb and then to 3/8" tips.  21 lbs @ 24". 

I put a rawhide back on it to keep the splinters down and then put a strip of albino reticulated python over that.  I've shot it maybe 50 times now and it seems to be holding up well.  I am amazed at how fast this little 20# bow is and am excited to start on my full sized pieces of Ipe once I get some Bamboo.

It looks awesome. It's amazing what you can do with a piece of wood that most people would throw away because it is so small.

You could assassinate a white tail in thick riparian bottomland with this weapon. Pretty neat and bookmarked too.
