Bow Hair- where to order it

Jake · #1 08-10-2006, 06:45 PM

I would like to get black hair on my new bow but I am afraid the black hair the bow maker I know has will be really old. I am considering ordering some and having him do the rehair. Where is the best place to order bow hair? Lemur? Maybe I could just drive around with a pair of scizors (spelling) and try to find a black horse.

Thanks for that link reedo35. I am planning to e-mail Upton and ask them how fresh the black hair is. I don't want to buy hair that's been drying out for 5 years.

I have tried many sources, and this guy carries my favourite bow hair:

It's fresh! I have about 8 bows alone to do tomorrow, one of them being Mr. Sherry's!

(I try to cram all my rehairs into one day...that day being Saturday. Then I go home and drink)

. see here for my reasons...I like to rehair in a sadomasicistic way.
