I was recently instrumental in saving my neighbor's house from burning down, at least that is how they see it. They wanted to do something nice for me, and knowing my love of selfbows, and specifically John Strunk's selfbows, they told me to call John and have him make me something special, although all of John's bows are special.
So here is it; Twisted Yew! 64", 55#@27", rawhide back, very dense growth rings,ELB nocks, and all sorts of character!!! It shoots fast and with authority.

I know Jim, whenever I call John's house his wife Pat answers 99% of the time. I always ask to speak to the golfer.
