Title: Dano got screwed!!
Post by: rocdoc on January 10, 2007, 07:42:00 PM
Well, I just got my "bow-swap" bow in the mail from Dano......all I can say is that DANO GOT SCREWED!!  

Most of you know that Dano can sure work magic with a piece of Osage and this bow is a FINE example of that.  

I'll try and get a few pictures for you tomorrow, but in the meantime a "mental" picture will have to do.  It is a beautiful piece of wood, slightly "flipped" tips, snakeskin (bull snake??) on the back, cocobola (?) tip overlays, and a beautiful hand-stiched leather grip.  Not to mention the finish....Dano is a master at putting the final touch on a bow!  The best thing of all.......IT SHOOTS RIGHT WHERE I'M LOOKING!!  Yep.......DANO GOT SCREWED!!!

Well what did you trade? I can agree with everything you have said about Dano's talent. I to made a trade with him awhile back and my bow is awsome.

Dang that statement is like De'ja vue, sept this time it ain't true  "[dntthnk]"  Doug is just way more humble about the work he does with wood.


My side of the trade was way better  ;)  

Doug my friend I'm glad you like it, and nope it's a Brazo's river snake.

LOL - and we didn't think anyone was lookin' - actually you are supposed to be looking at the four arrows from Dano, me, Chuck (snakewood3)Sinclair, and Bill Pearce (the other guy in my avatar).

I have a Dano Snakey Osage bow Beauty also (I just love saying that!) Come to think of it, my two Greatgranddaughters each have one too - and they all are just as beautiful as you say.

Brazos River snake huh?  No wonder it didn't look quite right.    ;)  

All I know Dano is I took that bow to the indoor range last night and I spent a good 30 minutes wiping the "drool" off of it!    :D  

THANKS AGAIN MY FRIEND!!

I've seen Doug's bows, and I would do back flips for one he made.{well, maybe not back flips cause that would hurt, but ya get my meaning).Can't wait to see both of you again at OJam this year. Hey, maybe Dano can do a bow finish siminar this year?   :campfire:  Terry

You know that guy they found frozen in the glacier? He had one of Dano's bows.

Dano's, first bow was was just after Adam took a bite of the apple.  A week sooner and the world would of been considerably different.

Aw - Dano's just a kid - he just looks older in photos, wait'll you see him in person - looks like a kid with grey hair and a mus'n-touch-it. Come to think on it - he acts like one too - up and down the hils, across vale and stream, etc., running half the time - sheesh!

Title: Re: Dano got screwed!!
Post by: Dano on January 12, 2007, 05:36:00 PM
OK you guys, you be the judge. Here are just a couple of pictures of the bow Doug made me, the full draw and braced are pretty too but these are my favorites. Screwed?? I don't think so  :D

I will tell you what, someday I am going to have to work on my bow making skills. I feel very insignificant in this crowd.

What a beauty.

Y'all know I don't think Dano takes a back seat to anyone on bows - but looks like you made out mighty nice there, my brother - for sure - a real beauty there, Rocdoc   :thumbsup:  .

Sorry for the poor picture quality, but my photography skills are still at the pre-school level.

I promise you, these pictures don't even come close to doing this bow justice!!!

Looks like a pretty fair trade to me. Both of those bows are exceptional.

I just had ta show ya's I got the better deal  ;)
Title: Re: Dano got screwed!!
Post by: rocdoc on January 17, 2007, 07:24:00 PM
Yeah......Dano's got such a short draw though that the full draw pic looks just like the braced pic!!    :bigsmyl:  


Just kiddin' Dano......you know you're my bud!    :thumbsup:  


Sure hope this doesn't mean I gotta try and get a full draw pic downloaded!  I spent 2 hrs in the office this morning just tryin' to get the other ones on here!!  Besides.......EVERYONE here knows that DANO don't put a finish on a bow until the tiller is "SPOT ON!"
Title: Re: Dano got screwed!!
Post by: Dano on January 17, 2007, 07:37:00 PM
Yep I pull about brace x 2   :bigsmyl:  

I'm just teasin, tryin to get the bow you made me the air time it deserves.
Title: Re: Dano got screwed!!
Post by: ber643 on January 17, 2007, 08:27:00 PM
Can't multiply well either huh, Dano?   ;)  

(I see this Full Draw pic you know - and i guess you also know where else it is gonna appear - in about 5 minutes???  No! Not the outhouse - what is wrong with you, buddy   :confused:  )
