Who admires the selfbows of John Strunk?

how much do those bows cost???

I don't know. John had this little hawthrone sapling bow - 62" ntn, about 60#, slight bend through the handle, with some little branches still sticking out the back. He mentioned it was for sale and if it wasn't for the fact it was only tillered for 26" I would have paid him whatever he wanted.

Hi Gordon,

         I know about those hawthorne bows. I will have to ask Pat to take a pictuce of the yew bow and send it to me.

Buck-tamer, John is listed of Dolores Farmers Bowyers list as Spirit Longbows. He does not have a website but you will get his phone number.

I wish someone would post a picture of his yew bow - something as special as that really deserves to be shared with the rest of the community.

Very nice, Rusty!

Gordon, I spoke with John this morning and he is going to send me some pictures of this amazing yew bow, which I will post. I am happy to report that it is too light for me.

You all are in for a real treat!
