Steve, Craig has a few in stock bows listed on his website. Might give it a looksee to see if he has one in your specs.

Steve, the neat thing about ordering from Hill is the wait is so short you hardly have time to get antsy.

That is a fact! I ordered my Tembo on the 15th of Dec. and it's supposed to be here tomorrow or the next day.

I am really getting...I don't know...

I know that my "Robin Hood" is sitting there finished and ready to ship.

I am waiting on two checks to arrive this week so I can finish paying for it.

It is so tempting to just go ahead, write and send my check knowing the other two should be here before mine gets there but should something go wrong I'd be in trouble.

I'm gonna find my birth certificate and try putting "patience" in my name...lol

Thanks for letting me vent a little frustration.

God bless,Mudd

Hey Gang-

I've been playing with my new Hill for a couple of weeks now, and find it hard to put down. I find myself wanting to hold the bow while watching T.V. This is my first time getting the gloss finish, it really makes the grain in the wood pop.

Craig told me he buys the bamboo already carmelized; Would it be different shades from the same supplier?

Head up Mudd! Things will work out. You're old enough to do what's right... Read Matthew 6:34 Brother! That Robin Hood will be in Sherwood Forest, Missouri in no time!

"carmalizing" means heat tempering. when i heat temper bamboo with a propane torch, it will turn from light tan/green to amber to orange to chocolate, depending on how long the flame lingers. the heat will make the bamboo resin rise to the surface and form a 'varnish' coat that changes the molecular structure of the bamboo - makes it incredibly hard, tough and durable.

i spoke with jason about my ordered big 5's tempered boo limbs, they'll be an amber color under clear glass - the edges will also be ambered.

No worries Cookus!

I know to take every thought captive.

Thanks for the reminder!

God bless,Mudd

I have a 60lb big five a old friend gifted me with but i just cannot shoot the dang thing. I envy those of you who can.

Mudd - If you need a little help and those checks don't show up soon enough let me know. Would hate to see that bow get away from you at this stage.

Blueridge · « **Reply #115 on:** January 11, 2011, 07:19:00 PM »

Rob, no he did not. Glad you brought that up. I would like it to be a honey/ amber color and assumed that's what it would be, clear glass of course. Jason an I had talked about this a week or so ago. Will give him another call. Thanks

Dang it! I was hopin' that maybe by some chance, or twist of fate Craig might show up at Kzoo, but the way you guys are ordering bows he's not gonna get out of his shop til next fall.

Rob , sounds about right. Thanks you're a big help
