LMAO!
Kenny has glass and cocobolo too.
here here I could not resist the temptation either :laughing:
Sounds like ya got some type of glass disease. Maybe ya need to see a shrink. LOL
I don't have a problem resisting glass bows... especially Hill-style since I don't particularly care for them. I have problems getting motivated to make ANY type of glass bows after I've seen what's possible without it. I designed a new hybrid longbow and had the press made for a couple years before I used it to glue up a bow, and now that first blank leans unfinished against the bench while wooden bows are started and completed all around it. Poor thing :)
Did I show you guys this one yet?
New brown glass color, from Kenny.

Nice, Chuck
Very nice two tracks, I like the brown glass! I order some last week.
Now that is a bow that screams simple elegance!
John, I thought yours looked pretty simple too:)
Have another beer and pull the trigger! When I was younger I did some things buzzed I regretted in the morning. Buying bow making supplies would not have been one of them.
Last one I did I used a mystery hard wood for the riser taken off a pallet a buddy of mine salvaged from the port in Coos Bay. Really dense stuff made a heavy riser for a bow with very little hand shock.
