Hackberry backed Ipe English longbow

Mo_coon-catcher:
Thanks guys!

Del: I bet you’re right. A light core and assembled like a trilam would probably see a performance gain, reduce mass, and make a smoother shooter. Just a bit more work. I did a density check on this board and if I remember right it’s about SG is around 1.2-1.3. So most any normal core wood would probably make a noticeable mass drop

He hackberry definitely worked better than I expected and as well as I hoped. Nothing crazy performance wise but did well holding things together

Threy: here’s a mid process picture of how I did the lace. It would look a bit smoother if I beveled the edge of the lace but just thinning it to about 1oz thickness make it smooth enough. A lacing fid to open the holes and lacing needle help a bunch in getting the lace where it needs to be. It took about an hour and kept a video up of a guy doing g this lace job on a saddle skirt. I hope that helps some
