I just got a bow back from John at the Bow Hospital. He did an outstanding job on it and I was very pleased with his service.

John does really nice work.  I had him refinish my '69 Bear SK a couple of years ago and have been very happy with it.

Johns work is awesome . He made my 40+ year old K-Mag look better than new . And it was a mess when I sent it to him .    :clapper:    :goldtooth:

John is a great craftsman and excellent to work with. He has reduced the weight on three bows for me. In each case he hit the desired weight, achieved perfect tiller, and did it all for a very reasonable price.

Graps, those pictures tell it all. I too have seen John's work and it was great, but those "before - after" pics are really dramatic.

Thanks for the link, now I'm even more impressed. It's an understatement to say that john did a great job on your bow. Love the picture of your Dad too.   :thumbsup:
