Here are the promised teaser pics for **********; my first attempt at a reverse handle Hill bow:

     

     

Was a good day, pulled it out of the cold oven late this morning. Ending the day with 2 coats of sealer applied and string made. Still needs grain filler, finish coats, handle wrap and nocking point. We'll see what next weekend holds, probably ship a week from Monday.

Hope you like it.

Any bow that looks as cool as that hill style could be 10lbs over and it would right as rain...

Great progress going on here guys! I got my second limb out of the oven, and a little progress on the riser. The ball is rolling now.
Congrats on the fine bows gentlemen! Canopy, that thing is sweet!
Plant a fruit or nut tree today, and have good hunting tomorrow.
