As asked, photos of John Strunk Hazelnut Bows
« on: February 24, 2012, 07:10:08 pm »
The shorter bow was made in 1994 and shows no string follow. It is 64", 57#@27". The longer bow was made in 2001, and has a slight backset. It is 54#@27". They both have outstanding cast. The picture are just quick and dirty. I hope they are good enough.

With a fine osage selfbow, my elkhide quiver filled with cedar arrows fletched with turkey, and with the invitation of the forest, I am about as happy as a man can be.

Gee I feel discriminated against. How come everyone else can see the pics and I get the message "Sorry these are private"

Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

I believe,that John is one of the Best,if not the best self bowyers out there.Youll never hear that from him either.He lets his work,do the talkin for him.Besides that,hes just a genuinely outstanding person.
