Johan Smit Boë is terug
Deur Rean Steenkamp
Een van die beste vervaardigers van tradisionele boë, Johan Smit, het weer volstoom begin boë bou. Johan bou blitsige gekurfde boë en langboë wat pragtig ontwerp en afgewerk word uit 'n verskeidenheid houtsoorte. Johan het die boogbouery vir 'n wyle afgeskaal nadat hy kitare begin bou het, maar is nou weer in volle gang met al sy bekende modelle, asook 'n nuwe korter opvou gekurfde boog (take-down recurve). Johan se boë is bekend daarvoor dat hulle blitsig skiet, geen handskok het nie en baie mooi afgewerk is.
