Another Dave Johnson

[Coach]

Had to get help figuring this photo thing out but here goes.  I received  my Dave Johnson longbow a little over a week ago.  Dave was a pleasure to work with and does a neat job of keeping in touch with you!  I have made selfbows and bamboo backed bows for years but this will probably be my only time at buying a custom bow for myself.  I chose Dave to do this for me.  Here is my bow as it came out of the oven!

Here is the bow cleaned up.  I wanted a vintage Dave Johnson longbow and this is a myrtle riser!

That myrtle has some character. I ordered one Friday. He said he took three orders the day before.

[Coach]

Dave got her done and it was one HOT summer to do it!  More pics coming!

I want to be able to pass this bow on to one of my kids someday.  Named it Remember When so they would remember the memories!  I wanted a vintage Dave Johnson longbow.  Black glass back, white glass belly, myrtle handle, and three lams of red cedar! The bow came in a little over 50# and Dave added and inch (67" ntn)  for my 29" draw.  The bow's cast is very impressive.  It is a lot of fun to shoot!  Thanks Dave.

Very nice!!!

[cahaba]

Beautiful. I like the way Dave tillers his bows. They look like they bend almost to the handle.

Really nice looking bow Shane. Congrats!

[David Mitchell]

Awww, man, just when I thought I had gotten over the idea of ordering one of these!    Beautiful bow!

[Coach]

Thanks everyone--It is a beautiful bow with great cast.  Cahaba I talked to Dave on that very subject.  Arne, will show you this bow next summer and hopefully we can shoot them both!  Been checking on those MN temps and wishing we were still there!  Very hot and bad drought here in KS.  Take care---Shane

How cool is this? .....Way!... I'm saying.....

Congratulations on an awesome bow.

I love mine!!

God bless,Mudd

PS: This is my 1st post in a long while, please forgive me my absence and allow me to slip back in where I still love traditional bows.

[Coach]

Good to hear from you Mudd and thanks for your input!  Coach

[Nala]

REALLY BEAUTIFUL!!!

Glad to see more of his work showing up.  Been wanting one for a while now.  I hate selling things to get other things, but in this case I may have to suspend my rule.

Thanks for posting it for other to enjoy.  Feel free to post more pics if you are so inclined...

I bought Lambow's (Eric's).  It's a work of art. It's almost too beautiful to shoot...almost.  Man do they shoot.
