49 inch Gullwinged hickory ipe
« on: October 12, 2010, 09:31:47 pm »
heres one i glued up week or so ago . finished it up this morning after i got home from work . hickory and ipe 49 inches tip to tip 1 1/4 wide at fades 3/8th at tips. finshed 47lbs at 27 inches . i think the top limb tip is a bit stiff and if turning it over doesnt fix it ill touch it up some. this one is glued up with a setback handle and deflexed tips not sure but i feel it helped with getting this one to full draw . handle is 1/8th inch strip of hickory and ipe. thanks for looking and i hope i didnt butcher this one up i couldnt find much info on deflex tip full draws

thanks Nate , this is my new hickory i cut ,it and the ipe are great together and really pop when clear coated. this was an interesting one to finish with no sleep off midnight shift and no clue what the tiller profile should be . tomorrow i have one identical but just a little reflex glued in instead of deflex

thanks for the comment and the concern Scott these midnight shifts put a damper on bow building

Nice lookin bow.How far are you drawin it in the pic?
Also,you stated,

Hey Ken...Because with the tips deflexed there,s less stacking thus making a short bow easier to draw?Great bow I love the contrast between the different woods,-Hammertime
