I don't have his telephone numbers with me at the moment, however, I will post them later today unless someone posts them.  The Black Forest longbow is one of the finest longbow available.

Just talked to him and all I can say is that I enjoyed  our conversation.  A brochure is on the way!  Thanks again, Brant

Here is one picture of mine. Mike is a great guy to work with. He made this bow with a bamboo core and juniper laminations--the juniper came from a log I sent him.

This is detail from the upgraded riser.

 

I don't have any on hand that show the profile, but Mike's bows have very pronouced deflex/reflex--much more so than many d/r longbows. His bows are very fast and smoothe drawing.

Gator1,
I think this is the last one I have that's worth showing...
 

As you can tell, Mike does very nice joinery.

I already have one of his longbows and now I'm on his short list.  My name will be surfacing to the top soon, maybe end of May or June.  

Mike make a great bow!!
