Any photos of recurves by Arthur Fisk or Barry Johnson?

Where to source materials etc. Also the place to show off your new bow or quiver etc.... Making things belongs in Traditional Crafts.

Any photos of recurves by Arthur Fisk or Barry Johnson?

#1 Post by Benny Nganabbarru » Wed Jan 14, 2009 4:44 pm

G'day lads,

The devil is perched on my shoulder whispering the wrong thing, and thus it is that I'm wondering if anyone could share a photo or two of recurves made by Aussie bowyers Arthur Fisk or Barry Johnson?

Thanks,

Ben :D

Hi Ben, I posted pics last year of one of Arthurs recurves but the photos are gone from the thread. I still have the pics but am having trouble posting at the moment.

I think they are in NSW, but I could be wrong.

Steve, I'd love to see photos of your bow. Would it be possible to e-mail them if posting them isn't working?

Gnome, it's just the depth that varies - just thinking, just thinking...

Arthur definitely is a Bathurst [NSW] boy.

In terms of one-piece recurves, I know that Glenn, Arthur Fisk and Molinjor make them. Does anybody know of any other bowyers who do?

Bob Wilson at Bathurst, dont think he is producing at the moment as his wife is very ill. I dont know of others , other than Glen Newell of course.
I hope to design and make one this year. Steve

I don't know if Greybeard makes recurves but the longbow he made for me is fantastic...

Yeah, I'd have to second that! I have one of Daryls bamboo backed longbows (actually, that's it in my profile photo) and it is outstanding.
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!
