Title: Redemption!
Post by: breazyears on August 08, 2016, 08:05:00 PM

Well, the last bow i made ended with a BANG as some of you may have read. It was do to bad wood choices in the riser. I made this one out of ipe, and jatoba. Ipe is my "go to" wood...i love it. Jatoba and boo cores, with whitetail tips, and back overlay.
 Ive shot this bow around 100 time pretty sure its a keeper... Fingers crossed

Did you use ipe for the limbs of the riser?
If so, what's the ipe lam thickness?

I used bamboo flooring, and jatoba for the limb lams. I just added overlays on the belly... Jatoba, whitetail antler. I think it realy sets it off.
