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  :)

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.
