Title: bow refinisher?
Post by: stickum on August 02, 2012, 12:09:00 AM
Does anyone have contact info for a good bow refinisher?  I have read that a guy in the Seattle area (close to home) did refinishing but I can't find his info. Called the Bow Hospital but they are talking eight weeks. Is this going to be a typical wait? Thanks

8 weeks is a very good time window.   Last I heard the gent in Washington could take over a year on some.  He does fabulous work but the reputation of the bow hospital is also fantastic and I don't think you will find a time window much better.

Bow hospital did some bows for the St Jude's auction that looked tremendous!

The BEST refinisher is a personal opinion. But yes it will take a little while. Most of these guys just do it on the side after their full time jobs. You could refinish it yourself also....

Check the Two Tracks website.  He does great work, too.

8 weeks is a 'blink of an eye' when it comes to refinishers. Wait till ya' start hearing "it will be done next week"............that is when the 8 weeks starts!   :bigsmyl:    :bigsmyl:
