Boy! Ugly is right! We better keep that thing at my house so as not to disturb the pristine beauty at your place.

Nice work again Ken!

it is nice but keep in mind that lower limb is bending more then upper limb. maybe you may re-think about tillering on.
just before the bending point on upper limb, if you erode that part little more they will be equal and shooting will be more sharp mate.

good looking bow anyway.

Define "Ugly" cause I'm having a hard time seeing it Ken. It looks like a modified horse bow design? I think it's pretty sharp myself buddy, you are absolutely knocking them out man!
Great job once again.   :thumbsup:  

I'd like to know where you all get your IPE from. I checked at Lowes and they can get the IPE flooring, but you have to buy an entire bundle and boy is it expensive!!!   :eek:

Ken,
I dont think you could make an ugly bow if you tried.

Scott , nothing compares to a semi pyramid with stiff tips . but i narrowed these tips a bunch and shaped them like a football in cross section so i got them light. shoots really nice and hard .
thanks Kelly , ive tried a time or two
