thanks for your kind words!!
hehe marty, I'm used to bows twice as strong :p Had some troubles with shades, so decided to get the fulldraw to a different place than usually. ha to duck a little, to get the bow in the white area, but thought this would be better
my back looks pretty weird eh? :p
pat, the nocks are "semi-sidenocks" :p There's some ipé left to protect the boo!
yesyes frode, parralel boo
don't think tapering is really usefull; as boo is lighter than wood... and thus would have a positive effect on the tipweight (in other words. I'm too lazy to get a correct taper :p ).
I usually do tiller the boo, bending it with my hands, looking for flatspots. Thought it would be better.
