Well, I'm on the list...now the wait begins. I met Mike near 20 years ago, and was impressed with him as a person as much as anything. He's not getting any younger (neither am I), so I decided I better git r done. Can't wait to kill a deer with it!
Specs are minimal...66", 53@30, hand rubbed finish...the rest is up to him.
Shot Mike's bows for the first time at out tradfest back in April and loved them...sweet shooters! I went ahead and jumped on the list as well for a 54" Black Forest.
Does he have a website??
Mike does not have a web site, but you can call him
(828)683-8728 and he will send you a brochure
Chad. Way to go. I can't wait to see it. Congratulations.
Chad, just curious, what core wood are your getting? I know Mike is partial to sassafras. I've used it myself for a couple of bows and it really does make a nice shooting bow.
Thanks Matt--pretty anxious myself!
Hatrick, I left it up to Mike. I figure a bowyer with his experience will know what works best with his designs.
I'd just talked with him at the KY Tradfest a few weeks ago, and we still stayed on the phone an hour or more.
Chad,
It sure was nice meeting you at twin oaks. I really appreciate the advice and helping a fledgling string builder get started.
Jake
Likewise! Love to see folks get started making strings!
Can't wait to see this one Chad. You can't go wrong with a Treadway. :thumbsup:
