Title: More Whips
Post by: Machino on May 28, 2013, 11:36:00 PM
Its seems like everyone likes showing off their bows and since I just got another whip I figured I would share.  I had been thinking of a two piece for quite some time.  Fantasies of moose, goat, sheep tags and a trip to Alaska had me convinced I needed one.  I went to Dan's place to see what he thought and after he twisted my arm I had a bow in the making.  I didn't know what I wanted for wood until I was walking around his shop.  Apparently one of you guys on here didn't quite like the looks of some Bocote he had laying around.  I asked him what the deal was and he said "it's yours".  Needles to say it turned out great. If anything, as I'm sure most of you know, Dan's a great guy who makes magnificent bows.  Thanks for looking.

I don't like a 2 piece, but I like the look of that Whip. The Bocote and Micarta do look very nice together.

Whips and Toelke bows in general are ACE.  One of the best around.

Both are 62"  52@28.  The other bow there is a whip with juniper veneers and a nice redish cocobolo riser.  I wanted the two piece for travel of course and hopefully I don't get another bug for a bow to soon.  The Kestrel is appealing though.
