Dano, that's a very nice looking bow, and if you don't overwork the limbs it'll last forever. Beautiful my Friend. Ralph

Very nice work, Mr. Dano!  :archer:
Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

How much does it cost to be your friend Dano, wink wink, nudge nudge.

All kidding aside, that's really nice. Elegant.

Dano, you got any more pictures of that bow you can post? How wide is that beautiful thing. That thing almost makes ashamed of board bows   :notworthy:

Plain 'ol beautiful! I love it that you just HAD to add the cocobolo tip overlays. Nice to know there are others that can't leave plain alone. Mike

"Plain Jane" is the name I gave to my old Savage 30-06 deer rifle. I have killed a lot of deer with her. I hope the same is said of your "Jane"
I would also add that your bow is a lot nicer than
my rifle.

Very graceful lines, elegant simplicity in materials choices....nothing plain about that. Beautiful bow as always Dano.

My draw is 29" so I'm a little short of the "Apemen".

Great job like you always do Dano! I like them long ones too and I got short arms.  :)

Thanks for all the kind words.

Dina, I clean up now and then  :bigsmyl:  

Brent, the bow is 1 3/8" to mid limb tapering to 3/8" tips. I like 1 1/4" better but I overbuilt this one a tad for the longer draw and wieght.

Beautiful! Like always   :clapper:    :clapper:  

What is the finish on the wood?

I love the reflexed tips, could we have a picture unbraced and of the back?

Always learning from Dano, thank you
