Specialty Bows

Matt Wehling tends to make two types of special orders, those with specific desires for playability, and bows with specialized ornamentation. He receives many commissions to tailor a bow for a player's certain needs and enjoys the challenge of fulfilling these requests. In tailoring a bow to someone, Wehling will often have the player come into his shop to complete the final stages of planing and cambering the stick.
