Bamboo / Maple / Ipe 42# @ 29"

[Aaron H]

64" TtT
42# @ 29"
1 1/2" wide tapering to 1/2" nocks
Bamboo from Carson (.125")
Maple core (.125")
Ipe belly (.250")
Padauk power lam, 18" long (.200"-.000)
Maple riser with Padauk accents
Buffalo horn tips
Tru oil finish with paste wax
Ipe and maple laminates were spliced in the handle

This was my first attempt at a laminate bow.  I know the tiller isn't perfect, but this was also my first time using a R/D profile, which was a little tricky. I have a sister to this one ready to tiller, so any tiller critiques are welcome.

Sorry, try this one

Pretty good. Bottom limb looks really good. Comparison wise the top limb may be a little weak mid limb.

Good looking bow.

[Mad Max]

Nice bow
I like it

[Roy from Pa]

Nice work..

Nice work! Tiller looks good, I'd just put a leather grip and strike plate on it and shoot Tha heck out of it!

[Archer Dave]

Looks nice man. How does it shoot?

Really like the wood combinations.  Nice  

[Aaron H]

Thank you guys, I agree with macbow, the lower limb looks better than the upper.

It shoots really well actually, probably the fastest bow I have built to date.

[Jan Westphal]

Did you taper the maple and ipe before glue up? Or leave it parallel and tiller afterwards?

[LittleBen]

Bottom limb is a bit better than the top but overall great job.

Even the tiller On the top limb is pretty close. I doubt you'll have any problem with the mid limb being just slightly weaker.

Especially at that draw weight and limb width, that bow should last a very long time.

[Aaron H]

Jan, both laminates were parallel at glue up, and I tillered afterwards.

Thank you guys, I hope it lasts a very long time, it was a gift to my brother in law.
