Another BBI
« 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.

Thanks Pat! I have made a few F $#@@^&^/$$ bows as well but just too busy to get on here much. Bow making time is very limited nowadays. I'll tell the yooper hi from ya ;D
Thanks Richard.

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!!
