After I got the news that Kenny would close his bow building business I was kind of sad because I always appreciated Kenny's ways of doing business and we all know the quality of his work. So I had to find someone else who could provide me with all I needed to do what we all enjoy that much. After a few days I contacted Big Jim and Terry Dunn and ordered some lams, glass and riser blocks.
This weekend was bow building time again and what can I say. They both provided me with some awesome stuff and it's a real pleasure to transform it into a bow.

X2. Big Jim has been great to deal with. Fast service, reasonable shipping and very thorough.
Nice!!
Big Jim is a great guy. Got to meet him in Alabama at the last shoot. I will be doing plenty of business with him in the near future.
I'm about to place an order with Big Jim too so good to hear.
Thanks guys. We have listed a bunch of riser blocks on the web site, but have more than a few hundred left to list...this is going to take a little time.
Should be listing a bunch of veneers this week too.
thanks again, BigJim
Are you getting the lams as well as the veneers from Big Jim?
Big Jim was a 1 stop shop for me! Everything u could possibly need!
We have most things on our website as of today. We will be adding more veneers and riser blocks as time goes on.
We have actionboo and actionwood cores and angle cut veneers too...plus glue, glass, carbon, phenolic and many other things to help you build your next bow.
thanks, bigjim
I got my first order from Jim and was very pleased.
