Looks nice. Can you post a pic of it braced and at full draw?

But in full-draw I didn't take anyone.

I sent this bow for a friend of mine, I'll ask him to take a picture and post here.

Boo backed ipe makes a great bow. Nice work.
 Where in Brazil are you? We have a guy on Primitive Archer from Brazil but he doesn't know anyone that builds bows or where to get wood.
  Congratulations on a well done Olympics and to Brazil's Beach Volley Ball and Soccer teams.
