Here is the second Hickory backed Ipe that I have been working on. It was made from the scraps from the first one that I made a few weeks ago. I wanted a slightly lighter weight bow for the upcoming rabbit season.
Stats: 66" ntn, 47#@26". Almost forgot to mention that this is only 1" wide.
Obviously not finished in any way
