nice, it don't take much epe to get a bow
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Dude that bow is AWESOME!  Nice work all the way around!
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

Aaaah... young Grasshopper... well done! I think you're mastering this bow making thing. My young apprentice continues to amaze! It doesn't seem to matter what I hand him, he makes a silk purse from a Sow's ear!
I did get a little aggressive sanding out the fades, but as mentioned, it doesn't take much ipe to make a bow. And as far as maple backing... I've made maple backed ipe flatbows up to 75# with no problems. Good job Cam! What do you want next? I think it's time you made a character self bow. Huh?  ;)
