G'day guys,

Progress Photos of one I have in the works.  Target weight is 130lb@32".  Hickory back, Lemonwood core and Ipé belly, 80" nock to nock. Holding about 1 inch of reflex after glue up.

Just rough cut the tapers so far. Will be crowning the back and the rounding the belly in a couple days then I can get a bend in it.

More photos to come.

Colin

Del the cat:
Sounds like a good plan :).
Is the core tapered?

colin1991:
Nope, core is parallel in this one.  Will have enough meat in the belly piece at the tips so I don't need to taper the core.  Don't have the tools to do it anyway.

ajooter:
Saaawweeeet....can't wait to see her start bending.  What are your thicknesses on the lams?

colin1991:
Total stack in the handle is 28mm, 35mm wide. Hickory is around 6, Lemonwood is 5 and Ipe is the rest. I already have one of this,same combo at 140lbs that i could shoot regularly before i messed my shoulder up.
