Skinned BB/Ipe///Chrono shot added
« on: October 23, 2010, 05:26:35 pm »
 I've been working on this Bamboo Backed Ipe bow for over a year now. I had David Knight glue me this one up for a trade we did. I wanted extra wood and a highly R/D glue up. I was shooting for the mid 60's in weight. I've always been amazed when tillering this style bow how you can scrape and scrape. And then all of a sudden the limbs break over and you are there.

 This bow is 58" tip to tip when strung.It is pulling 64# at 28" but is smooth and doesn't feel heavy till you get to full draw. And boy, is it fast. I need to shoot it through my Crony'. I backed it with a big Bull snake skin, compliments of Nate (NTD). I also stained the bamboo first with red leather dye to bring out the pattern in the thin skin. The tips are hard maple and ipe.

 This is the prettiest bow I have made so far. I might have to hang on to it for awhile.

 Thanks Bryan, I've got to dig it out, I'm real curious what it's shooting. It is burying a carbon arrow in my target.

Nice bow Eddie, I like the color a lot. That is a pretty good draw you have going on, no short draw there.

That's a work of art  :o  Fine craftsmanship and attention to detail.  Tiller looks nice!  I'm curious to know how fast it is too.

bowmo, camaroo, lombard and Justin Thank you. Justin,no short draw for sure. I wanted to make a bow that I was sure would get a pass through shot on most of the pigs I stick. It's so much easier to trail with two holes.

Pink seems to become popular on bows these days...  8) 8) 8)
Profile makes me think the bow is a screamer; really nice over all!
