Title: New Toelke Recurve Arrives!
Post by: vermonster13 on July 14, 2010, 09:57:00 AM
Recently i traded for a 3 month old Toelke recurve with two sets of limbs. On set was a little lighter than I liked but the second set is just about perfect. So I sent the limbs to Dan (Black Lambda with Bocote wedges and boo cores) to have a new riser made for them and fitted to them. I told him to make what ever he thought would go well with them. I got this back! I think he did beyond well. Also he sent it back in a new case!

Bocote riser even prettier than the original that I recently traded away with the light set of limbs. Outstanding!

I'll post strung/unstrung pics when the rain decides to quit.

Just spoke with Dan. He's going to come onboard as a sponsor the beginning of September.

Looks like a nice, long sight window. I like how the shelf  slopes above the deep part of the grip. Nice bow Dave. How long a bow does that combo make?

Those are beautiful Black Limba limb veneers and that Bocote really makes them stand out. Congrats on a beautiful bow.

Very nice bow. He makes an excellent bow. Until I saw his work at the Western States Rendezvous I simply could not get a feel for how his bows were. I had only seen his website before. Once I held one in my hands I could see the quality and they shoot good. On top of that he is a very nice person who wasn't pushy at all. I'm sure to own one of his bows eventually. Everyone should.

I've got two of his whip longbows. A one piece with juniper limbs and a takedown with Myrtle limbs.  Both are beautiful and shoot great.  I plan on getting a chinook recurve from him in the future.

Take one look at his bows and you can tell he is a true craftsman.

Not fast not slow. Quiet and steady which is fine. Has a very good grip and feels right in the hand. Handles a 30" draw no problem either which is good.
