Title: Anyone have any new Dale Dye pics that they haven't posted?
Post by: 4 point on January 14, 2012, 01:59:00 PM
I'm trying to make up my mind on wood choices for my new Trails End. I did a search and found a few, just seeing if there were any out there I haven't seen. I'm thinking about striped ebony and coco bolo.

Thanks Travis

Travis that would be a great combo, striped ebony and blood wood is also fantastic looking.  I'll try to post some pics later.

I like this thread, one of the few bows I have not owned, but absolutely love. I've seen some beauties! Your choice Travis sounds as good as any.

Lets see some pics guys..............

One of the finest crafted bows that I have shot.  Smooth and dead in the hand.  I love them.

Now I see where all those good-looking Dye bows are hiding out.

This one is 60", 56 @ 28".  Cocobolo with a snakewood stripe and limb tips, checkered grip.  Great shooting bow.

I don't know if I have ever seen a ugly Dale Dye bow.  He is one of the finest bowyers I have ever dealt with.

Thanks guys, Dale is a great guy to deal with. I have a striped ebony and mexican rosewood trails end and it's a beutiful. Just looking for ideas for something different. This one is going to be lighter poundage and I'm just going to use it as a target bow. I have a little time left, I'm on the list for may or june.

I wish he had a shorter riser.  19" is too long.

Keith, if you shot one of Dale's bows I don't know if you could resist.

Pat, thank you.  They all have blood on them. Ha ha...

Stykshooter - nice bows, especially the one piece.  What's the wood combo in that one?

I follow you. I owned a 60" TE which was about a 55# bow. The long riser and 60" limbs gave it a particularly..."unique" profile. The most "unique" thing about it was how beautifully it came to full draw. With eyes blindfolded, I'd defy most guys to tell it from a 16" riser x 62" limbs. Not a screamer as bows go, but those limbs are smooooth!
