Ipe takedown
« on: March 16, 2015, 02:41:12 pm »
So I have one half ready to layout while the others handle overlays dry. It's 64" long. I plan on making the handle area for each billet 3" as I want to cut in a shelf. The fades are around 3". Kinda stretched out my norm. How wide should I go? And what shape? I was thinking 1 1/4" till mid limb then taper till tips. And yes the fade will be well I to the ipe.

Does my layout sound good? Ipe and myself do not get along. Last time it came to blows. It blew up and hit me in the mouth. Lol

I started and stopped a 3 pc twice now. Try to find my last thread. There was a bunch of good feedback in there.

So I have one sleeve on. It doesn't turn and no wiggle. The fit isn't the greatest but I shimmed from the bottom to tighten it up. Should I pin it or screw it?

Epoxy should be enough.

Thanks Chris. It looks pretty cool! I decided against a shelf, so just 3" fades outta the handle. It's not much of a width taper

So I got them together. There's a slight twist but it should be just fine. I Still have to cut out the profile on the one limb. What ya think?

And yes the sleeve goes in a little further. Just threw it together for a pic. It's pretty snug so I gotta sand a little more.
