vthOkie12,

I can't speek for the blueprints and I've never made one of his bows.  However, I have been to John's shop twice as I live near by.  I have seen some of his finished bows and some of his glue ups.  I don't think you have to worry about the blueprints.  He knows what he's doing.  He's been at it for quite some time.  The last time I was in there he was telling me how slow he was and wasn't sure how much longer he'd be doing business.  I'd say give him a call before placing an order.  Good luck, hope it helps.
