My bowmaking studio was founded in 1970. I wanted a clean and beautiful rural area in which to start my business—with a great local orchestra in which to perform. Maine has been just the right place to work, to live, and to raise a family. By keeping my business small, I have been able to maintain high quality and build personal relationships with my customers.

I focus my efforts on six areas:

• creating artistic and responsive bows of the highest quality
• selling bows by other makers in all price ranges to meet all needs—from beginning student to professional
• restoring/rehairing bows for my customers
• providing “Lynn’s Favorites,” a time-tested catalog of bowmaking tools and supplies, plus a number of other items of interest
• educating about bow repair, restoration, and preservation
• supporting conservation and reforestation efforts in Brazil
