John Strunk designed the handle wrap style and if he doesnt want it posted all over the internet thats his buisness thats my opinion. I live in the same town as john and have worked with him on a few different bows and have just hung out and bugged him on multiple occasions he is more than willing to share his handle wrap one on one and others who know how to do it will likely share it one on one or through pm but that is just Johns wishes Maybe if you e mail him at his buisness (Spirit Longbows) he will help you out. I still havent learned the strunk style wrap because I prefer to personalize my bows with my own wrap, I have done a similar style where I just wrapped around the leather wrap with leather lace for extra grip.

NTD "Primitve archers are generally the most sharing and open with their techniques and know how...A select few aren't." It seems to me you are insinuating John is a select few who doesnt like to share his methods or techniqes with the Primitive Archery world, to me if this is what you are insinuating that is just rediculus ::), and im sure you own TBB vol 1 John shares a wealth of info to all. Im sure he has his reasoning for not shareing his handle wrap with everyone on the internet community but he really isnt a Internet kinda guy, right or wrong thats his right IMO. Im NOT trying to start an argument here I have just gotten to know John very well and I know he isnt greedy about shareing info because he has literally awnsered mine and many other peoples hundreds of questions time and time again and in my case every time I go over to hang out or work with him I ask about 1000 questions non stop the whole time im there and he has never acted irritated or bugged by my constant questions one on top of another, I would over load and freak out on me if I was him lol ;D

To me it seems rather that mister Strunk doesn't like thew internet to much, and I can very well understand that.

Guys, lets not forget that our art is under attack every day by more modern day tech. I really started building these bows because I love trditional archery and I wanted to pass on something to my son that he couldnt forget. I have learned alot from this site and I dont think there are very many guys trying to profit off these ideas, I know im not. Enjoy building wooden bows, its not a competition. Paul

HoBow:
The ego of an individual to believe they can keep a handle wrap style to themself must be astounding....I'm with Nate, most people relish at the opportunity to share their knowledge, others are selfish  ???
