New to me that is, but still new as it was just made in January. Thanks to my bud Jeff for selling it to me! It's 66" and 60@26, Myrtle riser, 4 bamboo lams, with a linen back painted dark brown. David built it using the concave/convex laminations that Howard used on his all Bamboo bows, and patterned it after Howards bow "Grandpa" which I believe was the bow he carried during his Wyoming hunts in "Hunting the Hard Way". Of course it's not 100lbs. like Howards, but I must say it shoots much better than the other one I had with much improved cast! It's super quiet and really throws a 600gr cedar well with not much handshock at all even for a B50 string. Thought I would post a few pics for you guys...hope you enjoy!

Ken, SWEET man. Yes Davids new concave/convex, the performance is for sure up with this design. I got to see David's grinder set-up ect and man he is a artist. Congrats Flint
Very nice bow!!
I really like the classic lines of the Hill style bows.
Nice bow Ken. How does it compare to the earlier Split Bamboo?
I like it Spanky! That is a nice piece of myrtle on there.
Enjoy!
Shoot straight, Shinken
Pure class right there.
I've been wanting to try one of David Millers bows for a long time now.
Guys there is no comparison between this design and the previous one - this one is WAY better! I think David has got it right now with the concave/convex laminations. It may not be quite as smooth if I was to nit-pick it, but the cast is vastly improved IMHO! The painted linen backing is also very nice and should give adequate protection for many years.

Ken, How does it compare to Daves glass bows? Looks great,
Greg to me it has less shock than the glass bows when both wear B50, but it is a little slower. Not by much now with this design, but a little. Definately quieter too! I'm hoping that Chad gives us a good report on the new B55 because I really want to try one out on this bow....Might be all it needs to be perfect!
Ken
That is a beautiful bow,congrats! I would like too hear how the new B55 works out,I see Kustom King carries B55 now.
Very Nice.
