Leather dye penetrates better than oil based dyes and allows me to build it up to the degree I want for my bows.

You can use any kind of stain but I like the alcohol based leather dye the best. I have done test strips with just about every stain, the others were OK but not what I was looking for.

I was finally able to go pick up my bow today.  It's only 1.5 hrs, but might as well be 1,000 miles sometimes.....

She's beautiful--I dare say it looks better, and shoots better, than she did originally.  I never thought a wood bow could compare to a laminated bow for speed, smooth draw, etc. but Eric's shoot with about any, and better than most.  It really does shoot as good as it looks, and pictures don't do it justice.

Thanks a million Eric!

This one should stay close to the top or better yet added to the "How To" section for future referrence. I used it for my first BBO, great tutuorial.
Lots of guys using bamboo at the moment and they should really read through this BBO repair and use it just like it were a new build, it works just the same.

To the Top I say!!   :thumbsup:

Great infotainment as usual Eric! I think you deserve some sort of honorary doctorate or something.
