There is currently a thread called new bamboo backed ipe bow, you could read through that and also use the search function and look for build alongs.
  Post pictures and ask questions as you start this bow, and I'm sure you'll find plenty of help here.

Go carefully.
Once you shoot a bow you've made yourself, there's no going back.
Have fun!

Tim Baker where are you from in Wis?

Hi...I'm in Neenah, but my name is actually Greg.  Tim Baker was one of the writers of The Bowyer's Bible series and my signature is just a quote from him from Vol. 1.  I do pretend to be him sometimes just to help me get through the tillering process.  
Where are you in our great state?
