 Finish
Each bows comes exquisitely finished with a durable polyurethane or epoxy finish at no extra charge. I feel that polyurethane's, and epoxies do a remarkable job of protecting a bow under the most demanding conditions as they have superior water proofing abilities, they do not harden and soften with temperature and they resist scratching which makes for a low maintenance finish. |
 Tip OverlaysHand carved tip overlays come on all bows unless otherwise specified. many different woods, horn, ivories and antler are available. |
 Bow woodI cut and season most of my own wood, and that which I do not, I hand select from veneer quality lumber to ensure the finist in performance and beauty. The selfbows are made of a single stave of wood. Both the bamboo backed and bamboo composites are composed of premium quality bamboo which is carefully tempered to ensure the best performance possible. All bows are exactingly tillered to your specified draw length and weight and are then shot, pulled and tested to ensure that the draw weight is fixed and that there are no hidden flaws. They are than hand sanded and flawlessly finished. It should be noted here that when these bows are completed, they rarely take on any more set, lose cast or weight, (unless improperly cared for).
Each bow's workmanship and materials are guaranteed for one year and comes with a hand-made flemish bow string and a custom bow sock.
A non refundable deposit of $100.00 is required to start construction of your bow. Add $20.00 for shipping. You will be notified when your bow has been completed and it will be shipped upon balance owed. Corrent delivery time for a bow is 14 weeks.
