My new Bigriver recurve. Zircote with a phenolic i beam, bamboo and ebias glass.

Love it, not bad for a 90 year old bowyer.

Thanks for the update Brian. I think it's great he is staying busy.

Have you shot the new bow yet?  I bet it's a great shooting rig.

Typical nice shooter from John, it seems a little quicker than my other widow wannbe. I wanted another for a spare, they seem to be my favorite of his styles these days. Nice heavy riser, going to kill a deer with it this year, it has the new bow stink!

How about that, it is just the right weight for me. I just might have to give it a test drive if I see you totin it. Fine looking bow.

Beautiful bow!  Looks kind of reminiscent of the one piece Custom Big Horn to, or is it my imagination?

John does stellar work.  Have a 50's style recurve, and 21st clone LB; both are exceptional performers.  Not to mention easy on the eyes.

I didn't get to meet you, but I did spot your bow hanging on the rack at Ojibwa this past weekend. The picture doesn't do it justice. Beautiful bow.

No website, would need to call. I think Brian said John is slowing down on production at age 90
