A few new bows we built
Sabanim:
Hey Frank
The Bamboo backed Ipe bow is 1-1/4" wide at the handle and tapers down to 3/8" tips in about the last 12" of the limb. The handle
is a combination of Ipe (core) and Tiger Striped Maple and Black Walnut and it has a 1/2" wide arrow shelf cut into the pistol style grip.
I use a reflex deflex glue up form like the Rudder Bows website shows. That's where I buy alot of my supplies and they've been really helpful with tips about glue up and tillering. I use West marine two part epoxy (#105 & #205) to glue up all my bows. I really like the stuff.
Pappy:
Welcome aboard,You have some fine looking bows there.

Sabanim:
Here is the Hickory Selfbow. It's 66" NTN and 35# @ 28" of draw and is 1-1/2 wide and tapers to 3/8" tips. It has Ipe tips glued on it. The tiller isn't quite right on the top limb yet. There is a huge knot that is making the limb a little stiff in last foot or so. >:(
This bow is for the son of the gentleman in the photo.
