Paul Posted March 28, 1998 Report Share Posted March 28, 1998 I am struggling to be financially successful at rehairing bows. From verbal comments it appears that in NE Ohio there are folks doing this service for approximately $30-35. I cannot understand how they can make any money at this price level let alone a living. Therefore, I would appreciate it if those who provide this service could email me some suggestions along with their general location and an approximation of their fee for such a service. If I get enough feedback which will enable a summary to be presented I will post it . Thanks for your help Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
