Title: tri lam bamboo backed ipe W/osage. pics
Post by: Jesse on December 31, 2014, 01:09:59 pm

Here is one of my recent bows. This one is a tri lam bamboo back with a bamboo core and ipe belly. Handle is mainly osage ipe and black cherry. 20" ipe power lam. It weighs in at an even 50# @28"  63" long. Bamboo is stained then sanded to give it an aged look that blends right in. Thanks for looking    Jesse

Wow!  I have never made a laminated bow, but if I ever decide to try one, I want to come over to your shop and see how it's done.  You have that design down pat.  Those are beautiful bows.

Those are beautiful bows for sure.  I am going to have to paste that full draw picture onto my computer so I can remember what a perfect tiller looks like!

Never been into the look of fiberglass bows or things like cut shelves an pistol grips but always impressed when people can mimic the look of them with all natural materials. Beautiful bow and beautiful work.

Killer bow Jesse. Just plain beautiful in tiller, wood combos and finish work. You hit that one out of the park man, very impressive work. :)
