We live in a world where many small changes can add up to big environmental benefits. At JonPaul Bows we strongly support conservation efforts to protect dwindling rainforests and wood supplies. Since our start in 1997, JonPaul Bows has pioneered the use of alternative materials to make great-playing carbon fiber composite bows. We also support the production of wood bows made from existing wood stocks and the responsible harvesting of renewable woods.
As a committed platinum-level member of IPCI (International Pernambuco Conservation Initiative), the leading conservation group in our industry, we advocate great products that make a difference. We recognize the importance of finding and using legal resources for our wood. Together with IPCI we are helping rebuild forests with the replanting of saplings. To learn more about the IPCI, please visit their website at www.ipci-usa.org.
Another way we have found to make an impact is our introduction of a new line Ipê bows. Ipê wood is a renewable resource with tremendous strength, responsiveness and durability. These bows stack up to permanbuco by demonstrating both beauty and performance. We invite you to take a look at our line of ipê bows (item codes JP1 & JP1S). The JonPaul Ipê line is available for violin, viola and cello, with violin fractional sizes as well. In addition to making excellent bows, this alternative wood is another small way we can help keep our world green.
