Nice. Was the handle like that or did it get heated to make for a window? Cool!

Great work. Is this what you meant when you mentioned using very thin Ipe for it's strength  and more lighter wood to fill out the thickness of the limb.?
 A lot of people say that they don't have luck with thin Ipe.

 Pappy, click on the pics and you can see them larger in the original album..

I dont have full draw pictures. This bow was made on order and I made few photos near my workshop before shipping. Levers are not static - delicate work and triangle cross section, varnish finish. In working part of limbs Ipe have about 2,5 mm, maple core 3 mm, ash 4 mm. 2,5 - 3 mm Ipe is sufficient, more is dispensable mass. But less then 2 mm could be problems with string follow and chrysals. This black wood on handle is wenge. Handle was cut in this shape, it is centershot.

Great job on a heavy colored stick, too bad we cannot see the f/d.

Lukasz, your bows are always top notch.  Some of my favorites!  I really like the handle work on this one. Looking forward to the full draw.
