Our turkey season doesn't open until May. I'll have my Tembo tuned and ready to go by then.

Thanks for posting those, Roy. This is the bow I described a couple of pages back that I finished from the blank. Bocote riser, black glass over carbon backing. I used bocote for the tips, too, but those pieces didn't match the riser real well.
And in the end of our exploring we shall return to the place where we started and know that place for the first time.

Nice Greg!  You do good work.  

The bow I ordered will look very similar to yours....great choice of riser material.  A beautiful piece of bocote.

"Carbon" - now that is something I didn't think of...I'll bet she's peppy..

Very Cool!     :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

Great job RC! Saw 10 hogs again yesterday after church but they were running after a volley of rifle shots must have killed their leader/s.

Hope your Tembo is what you wanted Greg. Mine sure is.

Tony, guess you don't need to borrow my Hill now huh? Good for you bud!

Got my Big 5 in on saturday. Carmalized bamboo, padauk riser, 61# at 28 with string follow. Shoots like a dream. Rob can I email you pictures to post? not sure how to do that with photo bucket. Craig did a fine job on this one.

Awesome Blue!  I think there are lots of guys that can help you with that (I don't know either)  Mudd does this routinely - maybe he'll chime in.

Congrats!!  Can't wait to see her..
