BBI EWB building program in China
leehongyi:
Good afternoon, everyone. I am a amateur bowyer in China. I have learned a lot from this forum. At past i mainly built asian type bow. But now i am trying to build a EWB. Aim to achieve a 80#30" bow. The IPE board is 190 cm long and 3 cm wide, and bamboo has been sun-treated. All works are by hands because i am studying 1500km away from my home for a surgical course. You can see all the tools i use for this bow.

more pics. I have spent 2 hours to shape it but not finished yet. the dark and bright colors of the shaving are really beautiful.

Welcome, looks great so far :)

Looks good! I don't know how I would do that without my rasp. I may have to give a plane a try. My past experiences with hand planes have not been too successful, I always got tear out.

Use your imagination and you will find ways to work out solutions in spite of a lack of tools, I have confidence in you,
So far, as others have said, it looks good. It appears you have a good tight glue line from what I can tell! Keep posting pictures, we'd love to see how you progress!
