Title: hick backed ipe/hick split
Post by: DustinDees on January 16, 2011, 04:25:18 am

I started this bow as a molg style bow but i didnt want to ruin yet another piece of ipe so i played it safe with this bow. its 69" long 2.5 inches wide it is hickory backed with 3 squares on the belly, hickory on either side of an ipe strip. its 60# @ 28 and very smooth draw. i dont think it qualifies as a molg but its a bow  ;D. anyway here is how i glued the woods together as a cut away

Dustin,
      Very nice bow!! That full draw pic is a classic Mollegabet bend profile, it ought to be very smooth and have good cast as well. Well done, sir.
