Re: Long Bow Maker Wanted
Have you considered making a bow yourself. There is alot of info on the net. Try an ash bow backed with hickory or red oak backed with hickory. When you have gained experience tackle your exotic wood if it is any good for bows. After you have done your own research you will know whether it would be a waste of time.

Re: Long Bow Maker Wanted
:smile: Hey Pupper , Stop in at Chek-Mate . Tell them what you have and maybe a trade or info for a you build .
Several web sites have stats on "rebound and memorie" attributes of various woods which is critical for bows ..
Cheers

Second the suggestion on Chek-Mate. Talk to Marc.

Is anyone reading this a good long bow maker?
the reason I ask is...
I have some exotic hard wood from south america that I would like to get made into a bow. What type of wood is ideal for long bows?
PM me if you know a good bowmaker or you are one.
I am looking for a 60# bow at 28.5" draw

Talk to Taylor Sapergia of PG. He will make you the best bow of anyone in Canada. The man is an amazing craftsman. I don't know how you would get in touch with him. I used to have a card, but that was a while back. Ted @ T&F Country Sports may be able to put you in touch 963-7538.
If you want a good bow, talk to Taylor.

Taylor is a great craftsman for sure. Just take a look at his obsidian knives or his homemade black powder rifle and you will be inpressed. I have shot quite a few 3-D's with Taylor, Lorrie Arnold, and Rick Newnham (spelling) and those boys can shoot...especially Rick and Taylor.
Re: Long Bow Maker Wanted
The only bows that i have seen of taylors have been authentic primitive style bows . If thats the style of bow you want he wood be a good choice. but i can`t see him making anything more modern.
