Nice work David. I figured it would be fast with that profile and tiller.  I don't think you would get away with that design and tiller with another wood. That Ipe bamboo is sure an amazing combo.  Justin

Thanks again guy's.. Justin what still amazes me about this combo is with the full draw being so much like a bend through the handle d bow it has only taken 1/2" of set after more than a thousand shots..

looks great David. I tillered the one I got from you the same and was very impressed that it didn't take set. I know bamboo and ipe are a great combo but you cant get those kind of results with just any limb design.  Great job :)

That's the little bow you were working on down at Pappy's isn't it? That's pretty cool, I'm trying for one some thing like that myself but mine has little static recurved tips. Impressive little bow.

OK, I glued up the riser to the core, next I'll add the belly and then the bamboo back. I'll post some pictures when its all glued up. It's going to be a tri-lam bamboo/red oak/ipe.....why red oak?  ::)  It's what I had laying around....lol.   ;)

man, quit posting those ugly pieces of trash on here!  You need to see some real bows that I make for competition: tiller out of whack, whip tillered (not on purpose, of course), bending in all the wrong places, and when you shoot an arrow from one....well, you better make sure you know a good orthopedic surgeon cause that SOB will dislocate your shoulder when you let the string go.   IT takes a MAN to shoot my bows....and I'm the only one who does!  YEAH!!
