Thanks to all for the kind words :)
Badger-- That's good to hear. I never really tried flight shooting. I know there is a lot more involved than a fast bow.
ADB--- I appreciate that. Thank you :)
Pat--  thanks. that's about as far as I like them to open
Sexy, Stealthy Thumper!  Your usual refined style shows beautifully.  I'm curious how thick you made each lam? Ron

bamboo core is 5/32' and the ipe is 1/4' in the handle.
thanks again :)       Jesse

That is just fantastic.  If and when I get around to making a bow with that profile, this is the one I will refer back to. Thanks for sharing!

Man Jesse that's a fine weapon right there.  Great job.  I need to stick to strait bows at the current skill level.  But when I muster the confidence I could only hope it turns out half as good as that one.  Great job.

Nicely done. I love those curves.

I have one ready to tiller that looks like its twin... only mine is several inches shorter and bamboo/osage/osage.
Straight wood may make a better bow, but crooked wood makes a better bowyer
