Typical Toelke quality. Great looking bow.
Those are some of my favourite woods.
Beautiful bow! I'm sure it shoots as good as it looks.
Sweet bow. I hmmmed and hawed on that bow but never pulled the trigger. It sure is pretty. How does the grip compare to that on your classic whip? The chinook looks a little bigger in pics, but was looking for your thoughts. May be my next bow order...Mike
Now that's a looker!
thanks all, MIke, the Chinook Classic grip is a bit fuller in the palm area and necks down more a bit in the top. This said, the newer "Classic Whip" grip has a more similar grip to the Chinook, a bit more "curvy" than the older "Classic Whip" grip.
I think thats gotta be one of the prettiest bows I've ever seen....Phil
Sexy!
very easy on the eyes!how does she shoot?
Yea Sexy is the word... WOW
A absolutely Beautiful bow.
I love the wood combination. Dan knows how to put them together, doesn't he?
Stunning bow,love the wood combination.
Awesome Veneers !!!
Dan makes a sugar sweet bow.
Very nice wood combo...!!
That one is way too nice :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
shoots great, really slings an arrow for a #44, i am going to add a quiver for a little more weight, like the added stability for my modest skills.
The most noticable thing about Dans Chinook is that it is QUIET, as in more quiet then most longbows ive shot.
Dan Toelke seems to be getting pretty good at this bow building.
I love the woods on that bow! I own a Toelke Whip and can't say enough good things about Dan or his bows...Shawn
my next is going to be another Classic Whip, i like the way he has changed the grip on them, very slight but exactly what I want (a little more heel, little more "curvy" etc.).
It seems like the Vote is in! What a Nice Bow!! Enjoy.
I got room to hang it in my shop if you don't have room in yours.
Beautiful limb veneers. That bow has me thinking of ordering another of Dan's bows, a 62" Whip this time.
