3/4" 65# Ipe

Here is my new hunting bow I finished last week. It is the first real bend in the handle bow I have made and has a D cross section. It is from an Ipe board Bob gave me. The handle is horse leather sewn with red thread to match the FF string. I didn't want to put a saddle on a cheetah. It is 69" NTN 3/4" wide at the grip and 3/8"wide at the tips. The pin nocks are 1/8" wide. It draws 65# at 29". It is smooth drawing and incredibly fast. Justin

Wow Justin where's the bamboo?
Looks great! I wonder if some of the osage nazi /famous bowyers who used to say publicly that ipe was crap are lurking on these forums...
3/4" and 65#'s
Very cool!
Rich-loves osage, and an open mind...

I can't believe how narrow you got it, and unbacked. I'm impressed!

Thanks everyone
Dave, yes unbacked
Rich, boo is on the other one. I like an open mind too.
abd, I would love to take credit for the saddle on a cheetah, but I stole the line from Rich Saffold on the string thread.

Lennie, that is funny. Shouldn't be to much work to carry around should it.
Thanks Gordon, yes 3/4"; a good piece of Ipe really does work miracles. Justin

I'm impressed with its simple functional appearance Justin.
Reminds me that a good hunting bow needs to be kept simple
and not all gussied up. She ought to make meat as she was designed to do.
Very well done Justin! Me like

Thanks Dana, you like my plain Jane hunting bow??
Bob, thank you for the compliments and the wood. I can see why you like the D-bow so much. I cant believe it took me so long to make one.
Jamie, Ill take that as a compliment. Yes, you better get to building. Justin
