Looks great. I'm assuming that's white oak? Wouldn't think Red Oak would be up to the challenge of being a good backer.  (oops, didn't read the title where it explains it's white oak)

Kudos!  I tried a white oak-backed ipe a couple weeks ago and it snapped at 28" draw due to some minor run-off.  I swore off the white-wood backing for a while, but might come back and give it a try.
