It's a beautiful bow, and those tips are top notch.  )P(

Lots to admire right there. Looks like it doesn't take much ipe to make a bow. 10 strands of d 97 is my go to string also, but I never tried double serving.

I want to thank all you fellas for the comments, it's been really hot here, like over 105, 110 today. I'll get a full draw if it cools down

I have a friend who made a boo backed ipe many years ago. He never sealed it with anything and never had a problem.
