Saxon Bows/ Randy Dehnel

[ak.hunter]

I have a custom made Saxon Mongoose, 66" and it is a work of art.  Good shooter.  Used clear glass, zebra wood and maple limbs, some purple heart accents in the riser, handle and tips, bacote riser.  Was considering selling it.  Had an accident shortly after I bought it that put me out of the archery game sad to say.  LH, and 70#.

I read this thread and did't see any mention of Randy's passing.  Randy passed away in February, 2015, of a lung disease he battled for years.  He was 65.  He was a great guy and bowyer. I met him at the early years at the North American Longbow Safaris. He is missed by many.

Someone is making bow's from Randy's designs, or maybe his old forms; just started recently. No website I know of, but I've seen posts occassionally on Facebook.

That "Kadiak" 59'er looks pretty good.I'll post the name when I find it again.

The name of the Facebook page is "Rustic Archer."  The bowyer is Wade Morris. He apprenticed under Randy and has most of his forms and his homemade lam grinder. His bows are pretty nice.

EVG's got it it, that's who I was referring to.
