I bet laming the belly like that adds zip to the bow. With the ipe in the center taking most of the compression and half of each limb is a lighter weight wood, maple. The benefits of ipe's compression but lighter.
Very nice bow, Ken

beautiful. I'm thinking of something like the artwork on the back for my swap bow. I'm going to see about that later, once I've got it all built. Thanks for the pictures, It's gorgeous.

Ken your bows are something else, Love that I beam. That Ipe must be some great belly wood.
Are you bellies flat or do you crown them?

that is a awesome bow I have a question, myself being a newb, how do you laminate the ipe and the maple together I assume the outside of the belly is maple and the inside darker strip is ipe. but how do you put them together is it just a straight up glue em together or is there more to it than that
