Was just walking out of the PBS gathering and looked over at the tag of the guy next to me...Norm Johnson!

That is artwork!

I wonder if he's using a laser engraver or a CNC engraving set up?  Anyone know?  Those machines do some incredible work....

Google wood engraving tools.... It will blow you away....

Amazing looking bow with great detail. I saw it on his website, its the Legacy Series. Good new you can have one for $4,500 plus I think. Inlays, fine detail and hand carved brass bow bolts.  Website has some great pics.  Also check out the Brook Trout collector arrows, breathtaking fletchings.  

Notice Blacktail has a shop in Indiana now and number on site is for that location.

I just heard from a guy that went by his shop to see one in person. He said the photos do NOT do it justice...

When i asked what type of tooling he was doing the carvings with, I  was informed that Norm sends those out to have them carved.... "Outsourced" was the word he used..... I'll bet that cost him a pretty penny to have the carvings done too.

I do wonder if it's hand carved or not.
Either way...it looks beautiful.

The guy that carves these bows is in Europe.  All hand carved.  The pics really don't do these bows justice.  I have held them while attending the PBS banquet.  But like others said, the price is staggering.  But it is an investment if something to have for years and years.

It looks awesome. Its a lot like the lazer engraving that Black Wido does but more of it.
Like Kirk said those machines do incredible things.

God bless, Steve

Yes I did.....at the PBS gathering in Cincinnati yesterday. They are simply "Works of Art"!!! If I bought one it would only become a family heirloom as I could never make myself use it in the field.  It is just too ornate.  Horserod

That was my first impression until this gentleman made the statement they were hand carved in Europe.... I've done my share of wood carving, and i can't even imagine doing that kind of detail by hand......

 but i've seen some hand carved chests and other things in the orient that you would not believe. So i guess i shouldn't have assumed it was a laser or cnc job.
