When I order my next longbow (whenever that is) it will have the same veneers, love that look.

I’ve been trying to decide if I wanted a brown colored wood for the riser or a reddish style wood…have it narrowed down to Bacote, Birds-eye maple or on the other end Cocobolo, bloodwood or redheart.

I like that bow a lot…what is the yellow strip? Osage?

Ooooh, that is one nasty piece of Bocote! I love it!

yeah Josh that stripe on the riser and tips is Osage! This wood really grew on me in the past few months, I really think it looks awesome with Bacote!

George, John is old school, no cell phone, no email, no internet and no website! He is just an all around great guy that makes an awesome bow up in Northern Wisconsin!!

John has been making bows a long time. I think he told me he started about 1950 something with Whiffen. He is pushing 80 years old I believe. Maybe someone can chime in here that knows more then I do. He really is a neat guy and a character as well. Chad

I believe he told me he started building in 1957 and I think he is 81 years old. I really enjoy talking to him when I see him at the various shoots.

John builds an awesome bow. Quite a character to talk to. He is 82 and sharp as a tack. I hope I'm going that strong when I'm 82.
