i got two selfbows at floor tiller, and a stack of staves and billets.... and now you guys gotta go and get me thinkin bout glass.  i don't wanna do it!  but you guys are just gonna make me aren't ya.... what with your fancy schmancy cocobola risers and all....    

   

yeah.... YOU!!!    :mad:  

 

Nothing like a hill style to permanently get under your skin!!

Mmmmmmm....doesn't that cocobolo and black glass look classy.  You know you want to build one don't you Eric.      

 

Stop!  im almost buzzed enough to pm kenny for some lams lol!  last time i had a few beers and wanted something like this.... i bought a grizzly bandsaw    :rolleyes:

LMAO!

Kenny has glass and cocobolo too.

here here I could not resist the temptation either  

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.

Yep, a simple bow made by a simpleton.    

Nice looking bow, Stan!
