Post by: griffin73 on February 05, 2012, 04:25:00 PM
Does anyone know what Black Widow charges to refinish a bow?

According to their website on FAQ, it's $180... $90 for the riser and $90 for the limbs.

Get ahold of Whip here on TG.  He refinishes bows, or should I say used to, he just sold the business.  He might still be taking bows in, if not, the new guy will be.

Plus, there are other bowyers who refinish bows also.

Black Widow does a awesome job! They have done a couple for me and the bows come back looking brand new.

Thats certainly reasonable considering the time and work involved.

God bless you all, Steve

I removed a name from a Widow, and can attest the fact that what ever they use for finish, it is "TOUGH"

$180 isn't bad if you are thinking about sanding one down...  They might have a stripper.

I am in the process of turning over the Bow Hospital to the new owner.  He will be here later this week, and will be up and running immediately.

Bows that I took in previously or have committed to do will remain with me and I will finish them on the regular schedule.  All new bows coming in will be done by him.  We will be making the official announcement and transition later this week.

Prices for my refinishing work are listed on the Prairie Traditions website at the link below.  Of course, the new owner will determine his own charges.
