Ok so I am going to order me a JD Berry and I remember seeing a post of one on here it might have been (Mudds) but I thought that it looked awesome!!! If someone could direct me to that post I would appreciate it. If you happen to have a bow with white glass I sure would like to see it.

Thanks , Steve

Mudd's bow is in this thread, along with a bunch of other beautiful examples.

The Morningstar James built for me has a white belly trapped to a "D" shape, and Maple Burl lams on the back.    

Here is my Morningstar with black glass on the back and white on the belly..

White looks good....
   I was thinking my next Hill would be Grey Back and White Belly....
   Anyone have that combo....

A couple of Hill Tembos with white glass bellys.

Ibshooter....
   How do like your Tembo's  ?
That's what I want next.
   I figure Good enough for Mr. Hill good enough for me.

Look up 1958 Kodiak and 1962 Grizzly. Both fantastic bows with white glass.

Yep!! I'm  definitely getting the white belly, it looks way cool. Thanks for sharing the pics and the post to mudds. Much appreciated

They shoot very well.  The two white glass bows are older bows.  The myrtle wood Tembo in the picture is a late 60's vintage made by John Shulz.  It's unique in that it is a two bamboo  lam construction,  50# draw weight, 69" long.  What is surprising is that it is as smooth as any of my current 4 and 5 lam bows.  It casts a 500 gr arrow like a heavier weight bow.

Thanks Burt that bows says it perfectly!!!!    

Thanks Burt that bows says it perfectly!!!!      stinkn smart phones!  

I am a huge fan of 60's and 70's target bows. The wood combinations those guys used back then, topped with white glass was just incredible.
The Wilson Brothers made some incredible Black Widows during that period that were museum quality. Along with many, many others.

bsv,

May we have more pics and info on that "Sweet 66" please.

All Yew cores/lams?

Thanks,

Stump

If you are ever planning an Arctic hunt then white belly and back makes sense...I have seen a Kempf longbow that was made that way for a successful musk-ox hunt

A reverse handled Hill with trapped limbs?              My head is spinning. That is too cool.
