Title: Another BBI
Post by: Jesse on February 28, 2013, 02:05:27 pm

Just finished this one up for Dana. its bamboo backed ipe. Brazilian koa riser, phenolic cherry and ipe tips. 62" ntn. I had it tillered it to 60#  but he wanted his older daughter and wife to be able to shoot it so i dropped the weight to 45@28" they pull about 25". Ill get a full draw pic from him when he gets it.

I just made my first BBI last week, man I have a whole new appreciation for laminated bows! Yours are always superb :) I'm sure that one even at 45# really spits an arrow  :o Thanks for sharing!

That is awesome!!! How wide is your bow from fade to tips. I have a piece that of Ipe that is just a 1/16 shy of 1.25 inches. Figured I may try a Tri lam soon!!

Thanks Justin

   yes glued . looks deceiving in the other picture. Here it is before it is finished out. It has about 2" reflex past the back of the handle but much more from the bottom of the deflex. (http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/WIbowyer/20130219_131240.jpg)

this one is 1 1/8" wide to mid limb then straight taper. You can make ipe bows as narrow as 3/4" if you like but this design is better and more stable at this width.

That's as pretty a wood combo as I've seen!!!

Being all wood will your bow hold all that reflex over time ???

I am in awe of that profile  !!!

[/quote] I don't see why not. Bows I have made years ago still  have the same profile and weight. Every bow takes some degree of set while building and breaking in. After that it's good to go unless it's overly abused.

I really like that unstrung profile.  Some sweet curves there.
