John Strunk does share his info with others! I dont see where you get off calling someone selfish you have never even met based on the fact they dont wish the handle wrap style THEY MADE UP, on the internet. That is rediculus! is there a rule saying if you are a bowyer you have to share every thing you have ever learned through the years of bow building or you are selfish? John Strunk has GIVIN away more bows than most have ever built or some maybe even seen, and shared info with other bowyers and passed on bow building to high school kids as a shop teacher where he retired but while he worked there he has shown more people than most the art of bow building. I am going to have to unsubscribe to this thread due to the disrespect and rudeness of the comments that have been made about one of the bowyers who played a big part in bringing the skill of building stick bows back. Maybe you should give bowyers bible vol 3 chapt.13 passing it on another read and remember your calling one of the greats selfish and he is far from that  ;)

12345678910 count it out. come on MEN lets dont make this a site nobody wants to get on, please. i dont get much time to get on here no more so lets make it enjoyable when i can. thank you and god bless to all.

sailordad:
dont know the guy (strunk)
cant say i even know what his wrap looks like
however if he truly did come up with a certain style
and was the exclusive user and there fore it became his "known trade mark"
i dont see a problem with him not wanting it published on the internet
especially if has taught others how to do it nad gave them permission to pass it on on a one on one level

i have a lot of tricks ive learned over the years as an auto tech to make my job easier
do i tell all the newbies how i do things to make myself faster/better
hell no,let them learn
i do give advise when asked and thats how i keep it
one on one  ;)

Yes, me too!

Strunk even shares knowledge in the TBB (...and honestly you don't believe he was given much money for his article, do you!?) the wrap is pictured in detail in the TBB and in many threads by Gordon and others, so if you care to know how to make it go visit Strunk, or go figure it out yourself by trail and error. What's the big deal?
