Show Us Your Dale Dyes!

[BrownA5]

I am looking forward to receiving mine.  Should be the beginning of next week as long as the storm doesn't blow the mail truck off her route!

[Kevin Dill]

Following this thread myself. I'm up for a Medicine Point very soon. I actually have been 'working a plan' for a long time. I finally acquired a fantastic piece of heavy-grained cinnamon colored chechen, which has layers of warm color, and even a gray-sage effect. The grain and color is unlike anything I've ever found. I'm combining it with veneers of custom yew with much wavy grain and black pin knots. Add in my own preference in the Medicine Points, and I think it will be spectacular but not extremely gaudy bow. I have to name it...and I'm planning on christening it on a Montana cougar in about a year.

Wow beautiful bows!

[vintage-bears]

Sounds amazing Kevin.
Please post pics when that bow is built!

I'm thinking about having Dale build me a bow too. I'm fond of dark rosewoods / Ebony / cocobolo with no medicine points.
ALL his bows are legendary but I am very fond of his one piece model. My favorite take down is and always will be Fred Bear take downs.

My "Swift Medicine" just may be the finest bow I ever shot.

Beautiful bows. I am waiting on my Dale Dye also. It was suppose to be here in November but DirtyBird cut in line.   :rolleyes:    

[cacciatore]

Mike,your buddy can't do this to you.LOL
I can't wait to see Kevin's.
Philip,all Dale's bows are stunning,but IMHO,the Pierce Points make the difference,not many bowyers offer this feature and I think they are his trademark and worth the additional cost.

[Mike Gerardi]

I Know Felix.

Looking forward to seeing Kevins bow also.

[Kevin Dill]

Felix and many others are an inspiration to me when it comes to beautiful and imaginative custom bows. I enjoy coming up with the 'next big thing'...and then watching someone else go 'one-up'. These are the golden days of traditional bow art and crafting.

"I'll show you mine, if you'll show me yours"....but you go first!

[cacciatore]

Kevin,you are right you know our play!
I think this site has helped the bowyers to arise the bar,everybody benefit of this,but for sure not the wallet!

[A.S.]

Kevin, I enjoy seeing the works of art you think up....can't wait to see this one!

[BrownA5]

Kevin, I too will be looking forward to seeing your bow.  Your past creations have been amazing!

Thanks all for keeping this thread alive!

[Kevin Dill]

Allen, Mike & Felix....(and many others)...you guys are the real bow connoisseurs of our age. I'm just tryin' to keep your taillights in sight!    

[Dirtybird]

If there is such a club, count me in.

[Kevin Dill]

Oh, David....you would be a charter member!

[cacciatore]

Kevin,you are too kind,but I really think that everybody here is helping to design and build better bows.Before the Internet the bowyers made bows alike for years and years,in few years of this and other sites everything is evolved and improved so much.
I am going to open a special bottle of red in your honor,Kevin.LOL. Lunch time here noone aound!

[Mike Gerardi]

Bring one of those bottles to Ohio Felix.   :D  . And Kevin after reading just some of your hunting stories the only tail lights I see are yours.  David's love for bows saved me big on a steak dinner.

My new Dye will have hair from three of my past K-9 partners in the riser. It's going to be a special bow.

[cacciatore]

Mike,that one will be a special DD for sure!
I was planning to come to visit you this fall,but my mother was bad and passed away last week.So be prepared next year a f.....g Italian in your stands,but with wines and cheeses and as a cook.

[Mike Gerardi]

Prayers for your Mother and Family Felix. Looking forward to your visit. Dont forget your turkey tag.

[SERGIO VENNERI]

So sorry to hear that your Mom passed away Felix.   :(

[Dirtybird]

Condolences Felix to you an your family.

Mike I did you a favor by ordering that bow.
