After trying to get in touch with OMC today I was told by another that OMC had shut down. Is that fake news or fact?

OMC stands for Outboard Marine Corporation. So you guys need to quit this abbreviation stuff and write down what you mean.

OMC stands for Old Master Crafters. I was on their website yesterday and there is no mention of closing.

Good Luck!

Outboard Marine Corporation is out of business?

From: HARRY CARRY
Date: 17-Nov-18




marc of PAW: nice to see you posting. Hope you get the info you need. Just wanted to give a shout out to you, without my trusty megaphone...!

I've not done any business with Belcher in a while, hope this is just a glitch. I need his carbon weave and I don't want to try and find that chit again. He's also the only place to buy foam cores from.

Belcher bought out the original Master Crafters about 3yrs ago when John passed away from a sudden heart attack. I have wood cores that my Dad bought from John's father from the late 60's. They will still build bows. But yeah again hope this is just a glitch. Belcher has the specialty items I like to play with

Randy, I did. Jim has moved and is just taking some time to get settled in. I used Old Master Crafters for many years before Jim took over the operation and have always found the previous owner and Jim very helpful and their products very precise. - - Marc

ps (post script) I think this is the skinnies.

My friend Jack Smith used to send wood to Old Master Crafters had it made into bow building materials. As far as I know he still has a lot of it. I wish he would get back into making bows again!!!

Abbreviations can be confusing...
