BUILD YOUR OWN LONG BOW TAUGHT BY MASTER CRAFTSMAN JOHN STRUNK
This is a unique opportunity to learn Bow Making from a Master Craftsman. You just have to search his name in Google to find that he is a highly sought after teacher and mentor. Check out this article on Travel Oregon.
“When John carefully crafts his next “tool” from the 6-foot long, lanky stick of wood, it’s clear that the Tillamook County resident has a master bow maker’s touch. For nearly forty years, Strunk has tried and succeeded in creating everything just like native people might have: the bows, the arrows, quivers and broad heads. The natural materials he prefers for bow making include: bamboo, maple, osage and the long popular and gorgeous Yew wood.”
This class is only open to 10 students, so reserve your spot. It will be Saturday and Sunday, January 27 & 28 from 8 – 5 pm. Cost is $250+Bow staves which are provided by John. He brings a variety to choose from and they range in price from $50 to $125. They are purchased from John at the time the class begins.
