I knew going into this that my wait time may be long so I am under no illusion of a quick turn around. What I am confident of is when the product is finished it will be extremely well made and to my specs. Everyone I know that has ordered from John has waited longer then they would have liked but not one of them has been disappointed with the final product and they all recommend his bows unquestioned. So, John may be guilty of promising too soon completion dates but as far as I have been able to uncover, he does not disappointed in the quality of the final product. When I was there, John glued up a bow for a good friend of mine in Traverse City who has waited longer then promised but I will tell you my friend is going to be knocked out with all the extra John tossed in to make the extra wait worth it. SO, the waiting game is on!
