Most of the posts I see for these are several years old. Is he still making bows? Does anyone here have any recent experience with them?

ED lives in upstate NY. I had one of his bowsand they are great bows. I have no idea if he is still making bows. I hope he still does, he made top quality stuff. Some of the New York Leather Waller's started of with Mikuta bows.

I dont believe he has made bows in several years. He used to shoot once in a while in our winter league over 10 years ago and thought he was getting out then.

I had several of them, they were nice shooters. I don't think he is building bows now days. Most had a thumb rest like a Fedora.

Made some nice kids bows too. Still have a small one my daughter outgrew a long time ago.

I have one he built in 2012. I think he worked with Mr. Fedora for a whle. His grips are closely similar. I have been watching for another of his bows for a while. Just haven't seen anything New from him in about 3 years.

He has a post with a picture of limbs he made to fit his Bear TD riser from Feb of this year. So, he is still on the wall.

Hi. About 3-4 years ago Ed told me via e-mail that he is no longer building bows. I have one now and had another one before. My current bow is custom built with a bamboo riser.

I just love his bows. Not sure if I can post a picture. If I can, I will start another thread.
