jpitts,

If you use Ipe, be sure and use a high quality dust mask. I pick mine up at Home Depot and they cost about $3.00 apiece.

Let me know what you'd like to build. I'm looking to trade a blank for some custom arrows. You'll see one of them in the Trading Post forum.

Thanks,

David

Oh, you're just crazy- that is an awsome bow. Tiller looks really good to me. I especially like how you laminated the boo onto the bow leaving a "dip" at the grip. I'd vote for it :)!

Hillbilly:
Nice looking weapon, and awesome trail camera pics, too.

For a killer natural camo finish, how about some wild cherry bark w/o removing the moss/lichen layer?  I have a VM stave w/ tons of reflex that I want to build a compact hunting bow out of, and I guarantee it will have the natural cherry bark for backing! 

The only kicker would be "how to best protect the backing?"  I think a satin polyurethane finish (exterior) with a few coats would do just the trick.

Any other thoughts by anyone?

Joe

Joe use satin spar varnish, not poly.
Sapr varnish is UV proof and weather proof.
