thank for your kind words.
 when john showed me what i had to choose from, i picked this one, because it was so small in dia. and unique.  i figured,this would meet most of the challenges of sapling bows all rolled up into one stick.
 i scapped most of the bark which left what you see now,and revealed some what i call woodpecker damage. spots.

as soon as i get a chance i will get an unbraced profile picture up. it had appr.11/2" reflex, and after shooting in it is straight.

That's it, I'm off to hunt for some ocean spray next week. You've inspired me--I love the simplicity and beauty of this bow.

Super cool!  John Strunk is an incredible artist and an even more patient teacher.  I hope to have more time to spend with him myself to learn as much as I can. 

That's an awesome bow; the tiller is perfect and I know John would never let you walk away with anything less.   Did you get a chance to play some golf with him?   8)  That dude loves to play golf!

  joe klink,
     thank you, and no i didn't play golf. and you could tell by the way he talks about it. i was there on a sat&sun i made two bows while i was there. which i will be posting it in a couple of days. i screwed up the tiller and had to redo almost all my previous work. i just might book another class because i have some more questions. john is a good teacher.

That is really cool.  Tiller looks great, now go kill something with it.  It looks up to the task.
