the handle and tips are osage and cocobolo the bow came out to be 55# at my short draw of 25 inches it has reflex deflex i followed the build along from poorfolkbows.com
Nice job!
Most excellent. Have you shot it yet?
Beautiful! That ipe is some tough wood but sure is pretty when finished.
Looks great!!
Great looking IPE.
yeah i just shot it some more earlier today. Seems to be shooting pretty good got my string served and nocked. its flings the arrows pretty good i measured the draw weight is actually a little over 55# probably 56 or 57
very nice!
Sweet curves. Very nice job.

very nice, i like the contrast of ipe and boo alot. wouldnt mind building one myself but i have no local supplier for ipe in a size i could really use,dont wanna have to buy enough to refloor my living room to build one or two bows.lol.
i found a guy off craigslist that makes decks with the ipe i got 4 boards from him had to splice the ipe together cause the boards were to short. Have you tried looking on craigs list
