Jeb's Bow - 2nd try (not for BOM)

[Gordon]

Thank you John, I appreciate the compliment.

Thank you Frank!

Thank you Tim. I too have thought about abandoning bamboo as a backing. But when it works, it's just so darn incredible. I'm going to keep plugging at it.

Thank you Bent.

Thank you for the kind words Luke. I don't think there are any rules prohibiting entering this bow into BOM. I just would rather not in this case.

Yes Josh, this is the same bow from January. It doesn't look (or feel) that much different than the original. But after taking it through a stress test, I'm convinced that it is fixed. Thank you for the compliment.

Thank you Kerry.

Thank you Jesse.

Thank you for your kind words broketooth.

Thank you John. I don't know if I am getting any better at this game, but I do believe I learn much from my failures, and I have had plenty of those. This craft can humble you very quickly.

Thank you for the compliment Mike.

Thank you Eddie, I appreciate it.

Thank you for the nice words Nathan. I'm a stickler when it comes to nocks - looking at them can tell you much about the bowyer.

Thank you for your kind words Pete.

[Cooper]

A great repair job and a real beauty as the result.
I like your bows very much and this one is no exception.
Bytheway: Had I said, that Ipe and bamboo is a great combination 

[Wulamoc]

To those of us that have struggled, you prove to be a master-craftsman!  What a beautiful bow.  I'm gonna have to try again!!!

Very nice Gordon! I can't see any nodes on the bamboo backing - did you sand them down or do they just not show up in the photos? Are the wraps on the limbs just for decoration?

[Gordon]

Kilted,

I wrapped the nodes on the upper limb because I did not trust them (Tonkin fibers end abruptly at the nodes unlike Moso). The nodes on the lower limb are visible, but they are small and difficult to see in the photo.

[Keenan]

Excellent as always Gordon. Very well done. If I didn't know it I would not know that it was reworked I would have never known.  The wraps look great and actually add to the bow. I'm sure Jeb will be pleased. Your bows have the cleanest lines, I love looking at them.

[Ghost Dog]

Gordon, that is truly a thing of beauty. I bet is shoots beautifully too!
