Amazing work you have done, great job indeed!
I especially like this dye work, so the rit dye works well? I need try if available here...


Btw, may you say what glue is used here?
Also, what is thickness of power lamination? I seem not have right thickness as my handles still pop off...

Jesse, You were commenting on how "stiff" the lighter colored Ipe was..100 subspecies of Ipe..leads to a little variety ;D

Thanks Marc
Thanks John. I wont be running out of room anytime soon :)
Thanks Far east archer. He used urac for the glue and the power lam is about 1/4" or so in the middle. The rit dye seemed to work good for me. Ive heard alcohol based leather dye works really well but I didn't have any. I would think colored ink would work good also. The india ink worked well.
Rich ;D I couldn't tell what you meant before. I thought maybe there was some problem with the lighter stuff. ;D It sure is some heavy wood. That's one cool thing about ipe. Like you said there are 100 subspecies so there might be a few surprises out there. This stuff has light streaks as well as a lot of short black streaks in it and the dust was not the yellow stuff but it smells the same ;D

Im sure they will come out great Brownhillboy.  Thanks for the compliment.
I brought it down to the range today and shot it through the crono for fun and I was getting 183 fps with 10gpp :o Didn't help my aim though. Im still a lousy shot ;D

Jesse,

That is a very inspiring job. Congrats on the tiller. I recently bought a blank from David Knight and I look forward to starting the tillering process this weekend. I appreciate all the excellent photos you've posted.

I look forward to the double lung harvest photo in the fall!

Super job!

David

Spectacular wood combo's and the dye job looks great too. David is a good guy and has been very helpful to me on a number of occasions.   Danny
