Dimensions for ipe warbow

[WILL CAROTHERS]

Based off the replies i got in my last post i think i will go to the lumberyard tomorow and pick up some hickory, and ipe for my warbow, with some ash and maple for my next hill style bow.

I will use some 1/4 inch x 72"  lams of either cherry or walnut as a core.  Since i want to go longer, i though that i could maybe taper the core to feather out with the last 2-3 inches of each limb would just be hickory and ipe, so the entire limb would taper, or should i just not use a core?

So what dimensions should i use? im thinking 80-90# and i want it really long to reduce stacking and to really lower the chance of breakage (76 ntn -80ntn?)

thanks for the help!

also, any ideas on dimensions on a 60# hill with hickory baked ash and or maple would be appreciated!

A good war bow measurement is your height plus your hands length.  In my case I am 5'10" and my hand is 8" long so 78".
