I bet we could help you refinish it yourself :thumbsup:

It's almost all prep work, like 10-1. It sucks to hand somebody a hefty bill because it might have taken 10hrs to carefully remove old finish and re prep for new finish. And besides that, nobody here knew how to finish before they decided to learn how. :saywhat:

The reason I say Facebook is some people want a bow back to original like Bear logo's and so forth.
I know there is a guy that does it, he has all the silk screens to do the logos and they look original after he finishes them. And yes you can do it yourself, but a Daman Howatt Hunter recurve refinished to original will bring a higher reseal $ for the future. :thumbsup:
What Brand name is the bow?

How old is your bow and why are you needing to refinish it?
Any reason why you would not send it back to the bowyer to refinish?
