Chris, you're consistent.  Another beautiful bow.  Long narrow bows are very appealing to me and are my favorite style.  Almost bought a Hill bow once.  But now I see that one can be built without using glass.  Another lesson learned.

The Hill style bow is based entirely on the no glass era.

Great job on the handle! I can't even see the seem! Does your brother in law's deck look as good as the bow?

One of the nicest bows I've seen on here. Worth a bump!

Ahhhh so this is what chris was building before he picked up some erc and forgot how to make a bow.... man, I sure you you recover from that!

Ribbing you, I love this. You nailed that bow, I have held a few hill bows and would never know it wasnt one, except yours is glassless and therefore more pure than any real hill bow.

Nice bow Chris.  I made one HH style with bamboo and lemonwood and I liked how it shot.

Thanks Arvin. I rebuilt that grip a few weeks ago. I couldn't stand shooting. Its much better for me now, shoots more comfortable in my hand.

Very nice bow Pearly! I would love to have me a hill style bow one day. Patrick
