Title: The Bow Hospital** Great job!!!
Post by: hogdancer on January 28, 2010, 04:46:00 PM
I recently sent a favorite bow of mine , one of my Dale Dyes', of to Joe Lasch at "The Bow Hospital" to have a little weight taken off and to be refinished. I had already refinished it once with Fullerplast but wanted a better job that would hold up better because I have gotten to be very rough on my bows lately. He did an outstanding job with a very quick turnaround of a few weeks, I am sure the wait will get longer when folks figure out how good he is. Here are a few pictures of how it looks now before I get some blood on it     :)

Joe's a top notch fella, and it looks like he's very talented as well    :thumbsup:  

Sure looking forward to finally meeting him in TX in a couple weeks...

Speaking of which...Are you hunting with that bow in TX bud?

WOW!!!   :eek:  That is a beautiful bow!!!  

I have an older Martin X-200 that pulls 55# at my draw but feels more like 70#.  I'll give him a call and see if he can set me up.

Its great to have a guy that refinishes your bow, treats you right, does great work, quick turn around, and a great price.

Thanks for the kind words Thomas, and sure glad you like it.  It sure was a pleasure to be able to work on such a beautiful bow.  I've never owned a Dye myself before, but was very impressed with the quality and workmanship that Dale puts into them.  Works of art!!

Barry, yours is waiting on a final coat of finish when I get back from Kalamazoo and it will be on its way back home to you.  That is another beautiful piece of wood!

Tom,

That is one fine Medicine Point you have there.  I love those subtle points, with just red and black.

I believe I'll call Dale and discuss my observations of this one.  He won't be working on mine for a while, but I think those colors will be perfect for mine.  The riser will be dark and I've been sitting on the fence about using a light colored wood for part of the points like he usually does.  Seeing this one pretty much nails it for me.

Thanks for sharing.
