Hey all,
The Dave Johnson longbows are some of the most beautiful longbows out there, I think. That white belly with the maroon colored back is just awesome.
Since last year or so I have been communicating with Mr. Johnson. I first emailed him to ask about his bows and now I email him about every month to say HELLO and see how he and his lovely wife are doing. He's such a good man, there aren't many more like Mr. Johnson. I've talked to him about wanting one of his bows, but he has a list of people that have been on it for a while and I wouldn't dare try to worm my way ahead of anyone, Mr. Johnson wouldn't do it anyway. He's got too much integrity.
Anyway, he told me he is slowing down and just cannot devote the time he once could to his bow building. He is a caregiver to his wife, I think, who was injured in a car accident not that long ago and he takes care of her, as anyone would do with their mate, especially when you've been with her or him for 50 years or so.
So, I don't know if I'll ever get one. If he is not able to get one for me, that'll be ok. I'll wish I would've been able to get one, but I'll understand why and not be upset about it.
I might end up having to get a USED one, if one ever pops up in my 45 pound draw and in my price range.
I sure would love to have had that one that MUDD sold last year named RED DRAGON. That would've been perfect, but alas it's gone, never to be heard from again as I think the owner doesn't frequent the boards....
Thanks for the pics...keep 'em coming.
