Title: Pine Hollow longbows??
Post by: HickoryBill on February 07, 2011, 10:42:25 pm: I'm thinking of ordering a few things from Mike Yancey at Pine hollow longbows. Has anyone here ever dealt with him? If so are his products good quality? Money is kinda tight with me so I wanna spend it wisely. Thanks. Bill

Post by: Aaron W on February 08, 2011, 12:10:13 am: I have made three purchases from Mike. The second purchase I received a wood billet with a crack down the center. I called and he replaced it promptly without having me return it and thus saving me time and money.

I have also done business with him at Twin Oaks...awesome guy. I highly recommend him.

I have been COMPLETELY happy with everything I have ordered from him. I will definitely order from him in the future. He is an oustanding guy with outstanding service. I would deal with him no questions asked!

Title: Re: Pine Hollow longbows??
Post by: Eric Garza on February 09, 2011, 07:01:59 pm: I agree with the above comments. Bought six hickory staves from him, four were great but two were iffy. I asked about his return policy and he agreed to send two replacements without question, and didn't even require that I send the two bad staves back. I'll certainly do business with Mike in the future.

Holy crap. That's how you do business!!

Stoker, you got me thinking about ordering wood, because I'm in Canada as well. What are these import regs you speak of? Seems weird to me that sapwood would be an issue and heartwood wouldn't. Because of bugs and worms in the sapwood?? Are there any other things that would cause hangups at the border?

Thanks
