When I began bowmaking, I found it challenging to find sources for appropriate, high-quality bowmaking tools and supplies. I spent a great deal of time searching worldwide for the best thread here, the finest and freshest hair there. I have tried to simplify the process for you by providing one-stop shopping for all the products and materials that I have found to be of excellent quality and that I use in my own bowmaking, all in one place. I call this list “Lynn’s Favorites.” I am presently working on developing Brazilian sources for many of these tools and supplies.

Thank you, all of my loyal customers, for the successful first year of my re-tooled website! In addition to a more pleasant ordering experience, this second year brings you an expanded selection of my hand-picked bowmaking tools and supplies, including the highest-quality, best-playing bow hair (take a look—in some cases, you’ll even see lower prices...finished frogs, for example). I call the items in my online catalog “Lynn’s Favorites”—they are based on my 35 years of experience as a bowmaker and teacher. They work very well and will save you the wasted time and expense of searching for or of purchasing tools and materials that are unsuitable for bow work. Most items listed are imported and thus include the mysterious and often unpredictable duty and shipping charges that can dramatically increase the cost of a package.

Products and prices updated August 11, 2008. If you want a convenient way to print just the current price list of my online catalog (no pictures), click here. (Download the FREE Acrobat Reader to read and print this PDF file).

Remember that you can always refer to my bow diagram, “anatomy of a bow,” if you need to. I am, however, just a phone call or email away should you have questions.
