Title: Colored glass limbs
Post by: longshadow on April 14, 2010, 11:36:00 AM
Just wondering if anyone has any pics of gray glass limbs.  I know Craig at Howard Hill bows offer gray glass, not sure who else.  I would like to see if it is a light or dark glass and what riser would look good with it. I was thinking dark riser kind of like a long shadow. Any pics would be appreciated....

Thanks, Al

Al,
I would be interested in seeing some Hills with gray glass as well. Been thinking of ordering a Tembo with black glass back, gray belly, with a purpleheart riser.

Hopefully I'll have one to show you in a couple of weeks   :D  I have a Big Five string follow bow on order with gray glass and purple heart riser/black elk grip.  I think they may be a bit low on gray glass from what I've heard.  When I ordered my bow Jason had to check to see if they had the glass.

Here Ya go, Al

This bow was made by my friend Dave Walker who was taught by John Schulz, using gray glass purchased from Craig Ekin, after a visit to Montana in 2004.
