I had a 1966 Bear Kodiak that needed restoring. I was referred to BowDoc and so I sent him an email and after talking to him a little sent him the bow. Then tradganhers started inviting him on hunting trips, and the new silk screens were delayed. Well I got it today and WOW!
I'd post pics but I don't want to be responsible for jealous rages and bitter tears. Well that and I don't have a digital camera right now.
By the way the bow is 64" 63#@28" I think the woods are Zebrawood(highly figured) and Shedua.Maybe BowDoc will post if I am mistaken. need to put a side plate and shelf and a string on it and then it's tuning time.

Oooooh zebra wood?!! There better be some pics soon.  I'm a sucker for zebra wood. Sounds like a beaut!

I am not happy with Don Ward (bowdoc).I sent him my well ragged out 1976 Damon Howatt Hunter and it came back so beautiful I don't want to use it anymore.He done ruined my bow.Kip

Don has two of mine on the way home now, a '68 Super K, 60", 69@29 and a '71 B wooden riser. I know what you mean, Kip-Don has about fixed it so I don't have a "beater" left. Congratulations C2-the wait is always worth it with BD.    Grant

These are good things to hear about Don...I have a Blacktail up there getting a new look!

C2 I have a digicam and a new design curve you aint shot yet    

CrookedStic, If you'll be around Saturady I'll swing on down with it.I'll be sure to bring a shooting glove.

Other than refinishing/refurbishing bows, can / does Don do more elaborate work such as converting a one-piece longbow to a takedown?

Does the bowdoc have a website?  I dont see him on the sponsers list.

It does my heart good to read where so many of the "Oldies" are being restored and used. Folks need to keep history alive, and those old bows performed just fine.

Bowdoc is an absolute MASTER at it and a great guy too!!!
