Bamboo backed Ipe. The perfect combo, for that perfect someone:D
« on: January 03, 2016, 07:00:54 pm »
I made this bow this last summer for a lovely young woman:)


Boo with Ipe belly. One of my favorite combos. Little Osage in the handle.
1 1/16" wide straight taper to 5/16" tips. Handle is 1/2" wide at shelf
A strunk style arrowhead knock.
Coast garter snake skin and burgundy dyed deer leather for the handle.
I love shooting this bow it's fast and a blast.
Once she does a few more push ups she'll be able to get it to her full draw:)
She did ask that it be made heavy enough to "kill stuff" lol
This bow landed at
45#@28
Or at her 35#@23"
















Yesterday, Shooting the the Sylvan 3D course.

That's a sweet bow, Bryce. I didn't get to see it yesterday. :( It was nice to meet your special lady friend. She seems like a keeper.

Lovely bow indeed.  Once she extends her draw she'll no doubt be able to take game with it

Yes indeed. Anytime I attempted to correct form she would say,"just let me do it."
