This is a bow I have just finished from a Howard Hill bow blank. It is an Owl blank with extra boo lam. Osage on the back and belly and three bamboo lams in the middle, with a cocobolo riser. I added the tip overlays, also of coco. I ordered 50@27 and it scaled at 54@27 before I started the finish work. It finished out at 53@27, but it would have been easy to get her to 50@27. If you need more details of the build please see my build-a-long.

They're such good-lookin' bows!
Wow beautiful Bow. Nice Work
Very cool!
Great work thanks for sharing the experience.
Looks great, how does she shoot? I have heard some say the HILLS have some hand shock. Looks like a good way to get into making a good quality bow. Again great job !!!!!
She shoots great! I just have to reprogram the computer between my ears. I have been Hill-less for a few weeks, and only shooting my wood bows.
