I want to offer a huge thanks to Dean for doing his DVD, Hunting the BBB... Also, thanks to Denny and Darryl for their part in making the DVD.
The movie is very well done. It appears to me that Dean is a master bowyer and eager to educate people that are interested in his craft.
Count me among them !!!
Thanks guys,
Pat Byrne

I'll second what Charlie said about Dean Torges, He TRULY has been a Big Help to Me in getting started into Bowyering since I retired in 2001, He was always more than willing to answer all My questions that I had, and I had plently. Even thou I have never Met Him in person, I too consider Him to be a TRUE FRIEND....ONE SHOT...
:D :D :D

Yep, Dean has helped lots of us in one way or another. Willing to share what he has learned, but always trying to make you think for yourself as well. Happy to call him a friend.
He cooks real good too!

Don't know him, but his piece in the Masters of the Barebow (and the bloopers) are darn funny. Seems like a fun guy to hang with.

Dean is the best. He's a great writer, bowyer and very giving one. Was always willing to talk with me several years ago when I started looking to build a bow. I'm proud to say he was gracious enough to make and sell me one of his BBB stave/blanks a long while back. Thanks again, Dean.

His writing and knowledge helped me to build my first selfbow. Still shooting it from time to time.
I had the pleasure of shaking his caloused hand at the first Wheeling Expo last year.

He's a good'un. A bit squeemish (is that a word?) about eatin' certain squirrel parts but what the heck. I like him. Even though his chicken recipes are much too complicated for most mortals like me

Being late to almost everything in life, I'm only just now reading his "Hunting the Osage Selfbow" for the first time, and enjoying it tremendously. He's a more sophisticated writer than most likely realize, reminding me of Doc Dave Sigurslid (The Inner Life of an Archer), which is a huge compliment. I don't know about the video, but given his unique writing and the low quality of most videos/dvd's on most archery topics, I'll try to find it. More power, Dean. dave

"He's a more sophisticated writer than most likely realize" Now that's funny right there.
Wait I'll go look up the word "sophisticated"
Nope!! didn't see a discription of Deano in there.

Dave, I'd agree. Deans writing is both entertaining and educational.. There seems to be a lot of depth to this humble gentleman.. I highly reccomend the DVD, it just gives more insight to Dean and the bowmaking craft. Order it directly from Dean.. His web address is
www.bowyersedge.com
Lots of good reads on the webpage too..
Dano, I'm guessing you are good friends with Dean to which I say, "you lucky dog !!" Enjoy.

Dano, didn't know anyone could love someone that ugly. You sure you not talkng about his bows?
I always enjoyed Dean's articles in TBM and when he first posted on the other site under Dean and engaged in selfbow talk, it didn't take me long to recognize his style. I immediately exposed him to the world and he emailed me complaining about my ill deed.
To make amends I got him an invitation to join me at a friend's plantation in SC for hogs 8 or 9 years ago. I created a monster, as Dean surely loves messing with hogs nowadays and annually makes a trip south to fill his freezer.
I've been around him enough to safely say, old Dean is in person, the same as he appears on the net and through his articles. What you see is what you get.

Yep, I'm slow too (though I have visited his site a number of times) but I have a couple scouts out, even as we speak, looking a spare copy of his books for me.

As a writer, I think the word "gifted" would fit well. When I went hunting for the Osage bow in your classic, I found it and much, much more.Thanks again Dean.
