I have an old VHS (young folks look it up), of the owner of Stillwater showing how to make a selfbow. It was a very informative and helpful video for its day. I liked the looks of his bows then I would imagine they are still great selfbows.

I owned two of their bows and a quiver a few years back.  Really nice bows!

Gene is a Heck of a bowyer, craftsman!

I met him in the early '90s at the Marshal, Mi. during the GLLI!

He is the Real Deal, on osage bows!

I also have the Vids mentioned by Jack. Also have some wood he sent me, espcially an iron wood stave, that is near 20 years seasoned. I need to get on it!

His Grumley style bows are sweet!... Did I mention he's good?  :bigsmyl:
