Refinishing help?
« on: November 10, 2009, 02:10:00 PM »
Well, I have a 68 inch longbow from Leon, like 10 years old and bought form this site.  It has been hunted a lot and the finish is strating to wear, when it is wet outside, the wood get wet in a few spots.  Anyone know if Leon refinishes his bows?  

Also, is hard to do it your self?

Leon would probably refinish it for you. So would Rich from Droptine Traditions here on the site.

I've heard Leon tell others that he'll do it for them.  Give him a call. Nobody can do a better job on a Stewart.
Don't meddle in the affairs of dragons; people are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
