Refinish a Bear bow or get it refinished?
« on: August 28, 2010, 02:53:00 PM »
I am getting a '67 Super Kodiak that can use refinishing. I checked the threads in the Bowyers Bench. Has anyone attempted this or is it better to ship it off to The Real Bowdoc or Droptine?

Any input is appreciated. I have no idea what the cost to have it refinished is, so that would probably be the determining factor if it is real expensive.

Thanks

I your just going to have a shooter, do it your self if you can. If you want a show piece and a collectible have it done by a pro. It cost more than he bow is worth!! But it's your choice.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki
