Another beautiful bow from you, Josh.  You were defunitely right to leave the leather off the grip...  She's gorgeous as she is!

And yeah... you keep making them with the rest on the wrong side    maybe you could put up a "mirror pic" so us righties can relate better when we're dreaming about how it handles..?

Very well done josh,great looking combo!I bet its a sweet shooter!!

Thats awesome Josh!!! That Ipe is some beautiful wood (I hate the smell though). Tiller looks awesome too..! I have'nt tried backing a bow yet....gonna make it a winter project. I have a Ipe board about 6" wide and 3/4" thick. Do I have to worry about grain run off it I'm backing it??

Beautiful job Josh. You guys are going to inspire me to try a laminated bow yet!

[Josh]

Thanks a bunch Rob, wisdom in those words

Thanks again for the laugh Mike shame you had to trim those whiskers.  I would hate to make it through the "itchy" stage just to have to shave it off again. 

Thanks a bunch, Tim.  I really love this combo too.   

Thanks Pappy it is pretty fast for its weight. 

Thank you HatchA  I am gonna include a pic for you wrong-handers so you can relate. 

Thanks Thwack it is a pretty sweet shooter.

Thank you Jon,  I really enjoy working with Ipe too it aggravates the crap out of my lungs and sinuses... definitely have to work in a well-venilated area for sure.   If you use a pretty sound backing you can get away with alot of runoff... If the board I am using has a bunch I try to make a less-stressed design with it though..

Thanks Steve, they aren't as hard as you'd think they'd be compared with a stave bow... just a little different and in some ways actually easier.

[Josh]

Thanks Swamp!

Hatcha...supposed to look?      

LOL thanks Scott...    Shaving wood is theraputic. 

[straightarrow]

Josh, another sweet bow. Only one minor flaw, as I see it though, gotta get that arrow pass over there on the other side.
