Tom, Ron Nelson made the curved bed designs on request when he owned Big Horn but he recently sold the company after sort of getting himself in some order/backlog trouble with his customer base. I don't know of anyone else who made them. If you do a search for Ron Nelson on Pow Wow and go to the last page you will find a way to contact the new owner and perhaps get some info.

Thanks Grant.  It's my understanding that the new owner bought the business soley to acquire the machinery and equipment.  I've got a number I can call for more info, I was just hoping that another bowyer made limbs that would fit.

Rich Burch bought Bighorn. He posts on the *********** under the name Blacksheep. right now he is covered up making the bows that Ron Nelson didn't deliver, but he worked for Bighorn at one time. Send him a PM and ask.-Pup
