Bamboo-Backed Ipe R/D

This is my third attempt at a bamboo-backed ipe bow and I like how this one turned out.
43# @ 29", 66" NTN, 12" stiff handle. Limbs are 1 3/8" wide from the fades till a few inches past mid-limb. Mild "Eiffel Tower" taper to 3/8" wide tips. It has about 2" of deflex and holds 1" reflex just after unstringing. The handle section is cocobolo and ipe with maple accents. Tip overlays are cocobolo. I couldn't bring myself to add a leather grip because the wood is just so dang purdy. No hand shock and weight only increases 3.8 lb in the last two inches of draw, she's really a sweet shooter.

Nice Bow! I agree that handle is too nice to hide under leather. Great bend. Excellent job!

Looks like third time is a charm. Very nice bow and absolutely beautiful. I like the naked handle to.

Beautiful finish work. Very clean lines. I'd agree with BJ, third time is a charm.

Excellent job, good example here of rounding out the reflex and not making it to abrupt.
