Finished a new bow

[passion for knowledge]

Finished this about an hour ago.

Was trying for 50# - came in at #47 - I had to get rid of a bit of twist in one of the limbs and by the time I did and evened out the limbs, #47 was it.
Still happy with it.
Can't wait to shoot it, but right now it's -20º with the wind chill and snow forecast for later.

Maple backed Ipe with Shedua riser and tips. Handle has an accent of Maple.

Need to make a new string for it - I just used one I had lying around.

Hill style bows are cool, good job.  Is that bow 68NTN...?

Nice bow! It seems that the backing is thicker than the belly. I'm interested in making a simmilar bow,  can you add some specs?

Bow is Maple backed Ipe.

Started out with the belly being thicker than the back when I glued it up (Titebond 3) - ended up with belly being very slightly thinner after tillering.

Was trying for #50 but I had a bit of twist in one limb that I had to get rid of - ended up #47 @ 28"

69" NTN

Handle is Shedua with an overlay of maple - tip overlays are Shedua.

Doesn't weigh much - less than a pound and a half.

Forgot to add -

1.25in wide at the fades - 7/16 thick at the end of the fades down to 3/8 at the tips which are very slightly over 3/8 wide.
