ipe instead of horn belly?

<< < (5/6) > >>

Rich Saffold:
Dave, I too think using ipe for the belly is a very good idea.  Ipe is great for this kind of experimentation.  I have a little tri-lam which loads up the ipe belly similar to what a horn bow would and it has stayed together despite my efforts to blow it apart..

I hope we keep this site from becoming too segmented, and keep these bows in this section..

Badger:
Rich, I agree with you, I don't like how they seperated the other bows into different forums. Steve

Justin Snyder:
I am watching close to see how this bow idea turns out.  I am just starting my first horn bow.
Like Lennie said, the best thing about this site is that we can all share info.  I don't think any of us have the resources to produce all horn bows, but many of us want to. By leaving it right on the bow forum it allows guys to share with others who have desire but no experience.  You can also learn so much from guys building sinew backed bows or shorties.  Justin

Dane:
On second thought, I do agree with you guys, keeping these kinds of bows in the regular bow section. Then everyone will pretty much be able to particpate.

Depending on how my next few weeks go, I'm going to take a deep breath and get going on my Asiatic / Roman bow, and torture everyone with a build-along / disaster-along :)

DanaM:
Looking forward to it Dane, maybe torture for you but not us.
