MOVING!! Navajo Longbows is in the process of moving to a new location. I have temporarily closed to move my location from town to my farm where I live. I've been looking forward to having my business near my home for a while now and it's finally happening! The pad has been built, slab should be poured next week, and building should be going up soon afterwards. I'm planning to be back building bows in March or April. If anyone is interested in bows, I'll be glad to talk to you about it. I look forward to getting back to work doing what I do---building bows!!!!

These are some vintage salesman sample hatchets that I am restoring and custom building the handles out of curly maple. I have 40 of them to do for the Combat Warriors Organization to be given away to soldiers who were wounded in Combat. They will be given away on November 7th. Each one will have their logo on the heads and custom sheaths. I have 21 heads ready, with 19 to go.
