Title: The deadly "Yellow Sidewinder" Finished
Post by: Dano on September 05, 2008, 02:44:00 PM: You'll have to wait till I get the skins and some finish on for more pictures. This bow turned out pretty well for a sliver of a belly split, it's pretty thin, 56" 40# @28". Here's Moma, this is a stave I got from Marty Horn at MOjam, thanks Marty, she's a beauty.

Killdeer~What are friends for? :D
Title: Re: The deadly "Yellow Sidewinder" Finished
Post by: Dano on September 07, 2008, 03:52:00 PM: That's funny now that you say that Kathy, My folks were always moving when I was away for the summer.
Title: Re: The deadly "Yellow Sidewinder" Finished
Post by: Dano on September 11, 2008, 03:18:00 PM: I put some left over canebreaks on and 6 coats of tru-oil. Tiller probably could have been better, the upper limb had a pretty good woop de doo, that kept the limb flat in that area.

Post by: Divinecedar on September 11, 2008, 03:36:00 PM: Honestly, this has to be one of the neatest bows I have ever seen! Great job! What is the length, draw weight, etc?
Title: Re: The deadly "Yellow Sidewinder" Finished
Post by: TNstickn on September 11, 2008, 05:09:00 PM: :notworthy: I'm with Divinecedar on that one!!! I absolutely love it.. awesome length out of such a snakey stave.

Title: Re: The deadly "Yellow Sidewinder" Finished
Post by: Apex Predator on September 24, 2008, 11:01:00 AM: Great job Dano. I've got an osage stave begging me to start on her. That bow is pure inspiration!
Title: Re: The deadly "Yellow Sidewinder" Finished
Post by: Dano on September 24, 2008, 08:06:00 PM: Thanks Marty, I've got the mother stave almost finished, just gotta wait for the tru-oil to dry :rolleyes:
Title: Re: The deadly "Yellow Sidewinder" Finished
Post by: ber643 on September 25, 2008, 06:33:00 AM: As you know, ol' friend, my admiration for your skill and your bows is boundless - BUT your shop makes me sick over the disintergration of my own hard-earned military neatness, that once upon a time I was widely noted for. You really know how to hurt a guy!

I'll just have to put up with it, I guess - cause I love looking at your pics - and I don't envision a swing back the other way in my (now slovenly, cluttered) habits. :goldtooth:
Title: Re: The deadly "Yellow Sidewinder" Finished
Post by: Dano on September 25, 2008, 07:11:00 PM: I have always said "don't hate me cause my shop is so clean" it's a sickness I tell ya.

I used to be real good at IG inspections too :bigsmyl:
Title: Re: The deadly "Yellow Sidewinder" Finished
Post by: Linc on September 29, 2008, 08:41:00 AM: S-w-e-e-t bow Dano. Looks like you've come over to the darkside where a twisted,knarly,knotty snakey wood is a thing of beauty. :goldtooth:
Title: Re: The deadly "Yellow Sidewinder" Finished
Post by: skeaterbait on October 01, 2008, 09:58:00 PM: Holy Cow, I know I have been out of touch here on the gang but I haven't seen anything out of Linc since the ride of the "2 Ton" Club.

Post by: George Tsoukalas on October 01, 2008, 11:58:00 PM: Wow! Dano, that is an awesome bow. You did well. Jawge
Title: Re: The deadly "Yellow Sidewinder" Finished
Post by: Linc on October 02, 2008, 04:31:00 AM: Yah, but a nice bunch of derrilicts.LOL.

Skeeter, I've been on quite a bit since the Half Ton Tour. But not much over the last year though.I've been as busy as a flea on a hot griddle. None of which has been helping my back any. :(
Title: Re: The deadly "Yellow Sidewinder" Finished
Post by: Paul/KS on October 02, 2008, 09:41:00 PM: Finally got the computer back so I can see the pictures. Nice bow Dano. That short and snakey osage can sure make an interesting bow... love the look of the skins too.
Title: Re: The deadly "Yellow Sidewinder" Finished

Post by: Dano on February 12, 2014, 08:34:00 PM: Hey ya all!! The rumor of my demise is greatly exaggerated!! Not much into building bows for a while, still shoot once and a while. I do miss all the friends I've made over the years tho. I have gotten into shooting and reloading more modern weapons out here.

Post by: John Scifres on February 16, 2014, 09:26:00 PM: Hi Dan,

Nice to know you didn't die. I'm going on a rifle elk hunt with my son this year in Idaho. But I'll be using my bow. It might be hard to resist temptation if a bull offers himself to me on the last day at 100 yards though. I like shooting rifles too :)

Take care,

John
