Talk about a natural camo.  Awesome bow all around.

Thanks again to everyone. I do appreciate all the positive feedback.  :)     I remember my first bow many years ago. It looked the same strung or unstrung it had so much set. I was hooked once I let the first arrow fly. Even though I had to lob it to hit the target at 15 yds  :)     Jesse

I have never tried a laminated bow, but if I do, I will be pestering you for guidance 'cause I can see that you have them mastered.  That is a work of art.  I want to shoot it! : ;D

Great bow, it's awesome. The core seems very thin, can you tell us how thick it is, is it tapered?

thank you.   The core is about 5/32" at the thickest the ipe is about 1/4". yes I pre tapered it to .002 per inch along with the ipe for a total of .004 per inch. Still plenty of tillering but thats a good start

very nice, I bet its fast and a pleasure to shoot, interesting combination with the boo core, I've made similar bows with a maple core

Thanks guys.
Dragonman. Thanks. Maple makes a great core also.  Are you still making the jewelry these days?
