Bamboo backed IPE ( pictures )

Looks like a dog that loved deer. Looks like he thought he was bigger than he was. He looks proud of that deer leg. He probably knawed on that leg for a while. LOL

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Nice bow Ron.  Did you use osage as a power lam under the boo too?  Or is the boo thicker there at the handle?  Adn where did you get your ipe?  Its one wood I have yet to try.

It is osage for the power lam. I will send you a PM maybe we can make a trade?
I promise you will like it if you try it.

You're going to MOJAM right?  I'd definitely be interested in a trade.

Hey Ron - sorry bout that. Wasn't trying to hijack your thread, was kinda dippin into the Canadian blend last night. Oh yea, I don't throw the legs to the dogs anymore - have since learned their is good sinew in there .

[jignfrog]

No problem. I didn't take it that way.

See ya

Ron, I like the ebony arrowheads. Are they inlayed? Good looking bow.

I just cut them out on the bandsaw and thined them as much as possible on the belt sander and sanding block. Then glued them on. Then sanded them smooth and as thin as possible again. Then I burnished them and finished them with the bow with Tru oil.

Thanks

LMAO  Cowboy
You forget that these little dogs are just as much Wolf as the big ones,i've seen yorkshire terriers with ribbons in there hair literally tear Rats to pieces!
I once saw a jack russel terrier stand up to a pair of Foxhounds,the hounds soon backed down after the little bugger showed he meant business 
Dogs are all heart and Courage.

Nice Bow jignfrog,Chase is a great name for it!i like that  .

Bravo on the bow.  I ruined a lot of ipe in my early bowyering days.  I wouldn't mind see a Chaser pic or two and hearing more about him.  I too am a softy on these issue.  Two hounds watch me do all my bowyering and are in the woods with me constantly.

I will see what I can do. I am glad to hear you have a couple of pals you can spend time with. It will be next week before I will be able to post again. I will be on the lake. But I will try to find a good picture and description.


Thanks

Ron
