  I will make sure I get some pics at the flight shoot. I have hard time getting pics where I live because I have no room.

so much for the sneak preview Aaron... LOL

BTW- What glue are you using these days Steve?

[Badger]

   Bob, on ipe I will usually use tightbond I, I only do recurves on occasion and when I do I will often use smooth on epoxy. My go to glue is tightbond 3 but for some reason ipe recommends using TBI

[Bob Barnes]

interesting... I haven't glued anything since we lost URAC... and see that most guys are either using unibond or smooth-on.  I have lots of old bamboo and want to glue a few before too long.  Rich sent me some really nice Ipe years ago as well.

Badger i have a piece of ipe laying around and a bunch of white oak. If its no trouble can you tell me the dimensions on that bow you are building and are you rounding the ipe much or is it more flatter then a traditional elb?

Hi Steve, same same with me. In my very short creeer I've already burnt so many nice staves only by roughing out too close...although I thought i've lerant my lesson it happens again and again and again. That it still happens to you really worries me and I'm considering to ban the bandsaw and all the electric powered devices out of my working space...(probably I will not).
Cheers

  The bow I was talking about in this thread did end up getting a 50# flight record.
