Ipe and Hickory bow
« on: June 20, 2009, 01:44:53 am »
Done.

This bow is 64 inches long unbraced. It is around the low 60lbs on draw weight. I have used super glue on the phenolic tips, Urac 185 with the Hickory and Ipe as well as plenty of time on a belt sander and with cabinet scrapers.


This bow does not sport an arrow rest. Somewhat like an english style bow.

The tiller. I am not sure it is that great but it shoots good (more important than looks) so I am going with it.

There was a guy at the range today who tried out my bow. He said it shot ok.











The glue lines...

Bet he said that! Looks good!
...But should be posted in the 'BOWS'-section so more people will get to see it!
