Wow, what a beauty.  The curve is just beautiful.

If anyone wants to look at what a well tillered bow looks like. Well you don’t have to look any further. Marc you really have perfected it.

PS  I was think I have a bow I made that looks almost exactly like that. Then I looked at a full draw picture and it’s not bad, but it’s not as good as Marc’s
Yep.  I haven't achieved perfection, but I think it looks a whole lot like that.

Once it gets nicer out I'll put a few more arrows through her

I have some gut string for serving tennis rackets I bought several years ago that I'd like to try and make a string with for this bow, I'd bought it when I had an interest in flight shooting.  I just need to figure out how to go about doing it

Are you thinking about taking it to the salt flats?

Nope, not going to the flats

The nocks are 1/2" wide at the shoulder

Thats a shame. If you decide you want it shot, I'd be happy to shoot it at the flats and send it back to you.

Not likely to be competitive since you would have to shoot it in then unlimited class and at 55# it probably wouldn't compete with the heavier bows that could shoot in the class

I remember Dano. Saw him the last time maybe 14 years ago at Ojam and gave him a couple staves.
That's a fine bow there Sir and a good remembrance...  :OK

That might not be the same Dano.  I remember there was one guy who went by the name Dano that frequented the Leatherwall and Tradgang, not the same guy

Seems like there was another Dano who lived in Arizona who was an outstanding bow maker and all-round nice guy.

The Dano I'm talking about disappeared in the early 2000's, I think he kind of pissed off a few people when he did

Yep, that's the Dano I was talking about. He'd come up to Mojam,where I first met him, and hung out with Micky aka: Ferret.
