Very nice indeed. I like a little more bend in the outer mid limbs on my recurves, but it looks pretty darn good.  :)

Thanks again everyone, this is my first attempt at using ipe,interesting stuff for sure. More planned with it.

Ryano, I agree with the mid to outer mid, needing more bend,however so slight, transferring more work over the entire limb.I imagine that if I would have caught that sooner this bow may not have taken any set? I'll do another one later, and will give it more attention,as for now there are many others that need finished. ;)

Love the bow and the understated way you describe it, nothing real fancy! Modest sir, very modest. You are an inspiration.

...  I split  2 kerfs in each of the tips then heat bent them to my form. Then glued back in some ipe slivers.
...

Any chance to hear more about that?? Any photos of the work in progress even...???

Again: sweet bow!

This is a serous contender for Feb Laminate Bow of the Month. Wonderful symmetrical limbs and craftsmanship

Snake skin isn't my thing, but it is a very pretty bow. I love that recurve look!
