Looks good Ken.  Did you do a round belly or flat.  I'm really wanting to try a round belly ipe longbow, I know there are better performance options but they just seem so classy.

I'm with Ohma, nice and classic looking long bow. The cast is pretty darned good for hunting weight arrows and broadheads. Sorry, I cant help but ask.....do we know any "gentleman"?  ;D
