Alabama Ice Pick.....(not for bom)
« on: March 09, 2011, 08:30:50 pm »
Hillbilly 61 sent me a glued up piece of boo on some Ipe....here's what I made out of it. 56" ttt, 52# @ 27". 3/4" wide tapering to 5/16 tips....draws smooth and shoots real quick. Dont mind the snow, just another 6" we're gettin today. Oh ya, the name just seemed right cause it's small, skinny, and way deadly.....thanks Mark seems like yer wood dont mind the cold too much.

Hope ya like, thanks for lookin. PS: dont know for sure about a grip wrap yet.....none, rattan, leather? aint decided. Oh ya, the bow's mass weight is 10-1/2 ounces.

That is my favorite bow you've posted.  What a beautiful, sleek, small package with an excellent tiller!  Thanks for sharing.
