Title: hickory backed jatoba hill style
Post by: Dvshunter on August 05, 2013, 07:31:56 pm

This one  is a bit different than my normal bows. Its a kickory backed jatoba  with tigerwood handle and overlays. Its 64 inches ntn and pulls smooth at 55@28. It was basically a straight glue up with about half an inch of reflex. It lays flat after shooting and returns to just about a quarter inch reflex after rest.  Hill style bows aren't my thing so I gave this one to the neighbor. Thanks for looking. Dave

If you'd publish the fact that such things are occasionally given away to your neighbors, ...you could single-handedly improve the property values on your street by 20 - 30 %!!!

The color combinations are really beautiful but I have some questions.  What is a hill style bow, what did you use as an overlay at the handle, what are the limb dimensions?

Beautiful! Always love your work.

Thanks fritz, glad you like it.

Autoglogus the hill style is just basically a straight limbed straight profile with a narrowish grip I think. The overlays are tigerwood and the limbs are about an inch and a quarter at the fades and 7/16 ish on the tips with a straight taper
Thanks guys!
