Description

 Ipe (Brazilian Walnut) is an extremely dense wood, and much like osage orange is impervious to rot and decay due to its natural oils. the bow is constructed with Heat Tempered Bamboo, which is then laminated to seasoned Ipe wood to create this stunning bow. The nocks are made from hand carved buffalo horn. The grips and hand stitched North American Bison leather. 

 

 

 All my ELB's meet the BLBS's 5/8's rule and tillered in 'full compass'. A must for the Ren Festival or SCA events!
