I've handled one of these at John's booth at our state shoot and it's definately an excellent finish. Feels like the bow is encased in a plastic shrinkwrap camo finish. Feels tough yet still not too thick as to change the dimensions of even the finer lines like string grooves.
John is a fine fellow to do business with: not only is he very knowledgeable, he steers customers in the direction they need to go, not so much in the direction that will make him the most profit. Very difficult to find both in today's market.
If I ever find a "beater" shawnee riser, I'm sending it to John for the dip process. Glad to see you are offering this as an a'la' carte item John!
