Does anyone have contact info for a good bow refinisher? I have read that a guy in the Seattle area (close to home) did refinishing but I can't find his info. Called the Bow Hospital but they are talking eight weeks. Is this going to be a typical wait? Thanks

8 weeks is a very good time window. Last I heard the gent in Washington could take over a year on some. He does fabulous work but the reputation of the bow hospital is also fantastic and I don't think you will find a time window much better.
Bow hospital did some bows for the St Jude's auction that looked tremendous!

The BEST refinisher is a personal opinion. But yes it will take a little while. Most of these guys just do it on the side after their full time jobs. You could refinish it yourself also....

8 weeks is a 'blink of an eye' when it comes to refinishers. Wait till ya' start hearing "it will be done next week"............that is when the 8 weeks starts! Posts: 8752 | From: Los Gatos, California | Registered: Jun 2005
