HBI R/D
« on: May 15, 2010, 08:13:49 pm »
Here is a Hickory Backed Ipe that I recently finished for a friend.  Handle riser is coyote and some kind of walnut.  It is 66" long 1 1/8th inch wide until the last 14 inches, then tapers to 3/8" nocks.  It draws 55lbs @ 30" although I'm only drawing it to 29"  It's my friend who has the monkey draw.  I think I got a lot closer to the correct r/d profile.  Let me know what you think.

Thanks guys.  El D.  Thanks for the PM.  I don't mind public scrutiny though.  Especially if others can learn from it.  As far as that top limb. I scraped and scraped and scraped to get it to bend better.  There are a few darker swirls of wood in that area and it didn't seem to want to bend.  It was hell just to get that outer limb open at all.  And center shot.... ;) Well doing it at all makes me nervous as hell ;D  Thanks so much though for the pointers, God knows I need em.  And I do like these bows too but mostly other people like them and that's what I do most of my building for ;D

Nice looking bow Nate. The tiller is absolutely beautiful.

Thanks Ron, Pat B, Tim, David and Justin. 

I really liked working with the hickory backing David.  But it definitely came out lighter after glue up than the bamboo does.  Didn't have much wiggle room :)
Also used Urac for the first time with this one.  I think I won't be going back to TBIII, the glue line on this thing is outstanding!!!

Thanks Scott.  Fastest bow I've made yet ;D  Course I don't have a chrony so no way to confirm that.  Draws sweet too.  Frank has a bum shoulder and said it's good on the shoulder.
