I'm looking to buy a selfbow and I'm interested in finding a reputable bowyer, any suggestions ?

i would talk to mr pat brennen, eric krewson, john strunk from spirit bows,there are a number of other self bowyers here at tg who also might be able to help you outin building you a bow go to the bowyers bench and ask around  

Don't forget Ted Fry at Raptor Archery. I bought an Osage bow from Ted about 10 years ago and it still shoots great. I think he's a sponsor here too.

Arvin Weaver out of Austin makes a fine osage selfbow..he can be reached via Bob Sarrels

Wingnut at Dryad makes a fine osage stick and is a sponsor.

I make em but don't sell em. I believe you should make your own. I like to ask folks, "Which part of self bow don't you understand?"

Thanks guys for the vote of confidence but I am taking a break from bow building for a month or two. My focus now is teaching the craft to other people. I had some great guys come by last week and work in my shop. I expect them back on any days I have available.

Randy Clark put in 8 hours on Tuesday and Bill Sheppard worked 10 hours on Thursday. These guys really want to learn how to make bow and I enjoyed teaching them. Both drove a long distance to get here.

I have a Ted Fry bow that I got last year that is becoming my favorite and probably my elk hunting stick this year. Might give Raptor Archery a look.

All the people mentioned above make good selfbows, I would add Mike Yancy and Mark Baker to the list.
Like Shaun, I make selfbows but do not sell them.

Excellent choice. Beautiful bows.

Owl bows Or Baker Bows I own one of each and they are asweome shooting bows!

I recently gotta Dryad Hunter....    
She's plain, simple, and shoots great.  It seems faster than any of my other bows, but haven't chrono'd any.
   I think these bows are overlooked by many but they do perform, and very well.  Give'em a try.  

Steve Gardner, don't know if he is here but goes by Badger on just about any forum I have seen him on.  I've heard a lot of good about his work.

I know a fellow on one of the other forums traded him some hickory staves for a boo backed osage that was real nice, so I have a feeling he might be game to make one.  He normally keeps himself busy making selfbows for flight shooting.

Build your own,its not that hard.There's a wealth of information available on the net,the Boyers Bench forum here has much information and fine folks willing to walk you through it. Building your own bows adds a whole new prospective to traditional archery,be forewarned, building self bows is highly addictive and habit forming.PM me if I can help
