Its been years since I picked up my box ,it last a really long time. Maybe a good paint store I was thinking I got mine at a hardware store. Just use an old tee-shirt and dip in veg oil then in the pomice powder rub the bow all over keep dipping to keep the shirt wet. Wipe down with warm water then dry good. May take a couple of wipe downs but it takes off shine but leaves the finish perfect. I use it to take shine off all my hunting selfbows.
I did a search and I believe you can get it at like Home depot or Lowes.

Just to let you know I got this method years ago from BB I, it should go well with your great find of a bow. I am jealous.

Thanks again Jack.

There's another granpa in the classified ads here from same seller. It's 64#@27 so too stout for me otherwise I'd pick that one up too.

Just picked up a long one.......A 72" TEMBO, this should be butter smooth at that length. Can't wait for it to get here.

Ron, I would have to cant that bow A LOT to shoot it!  I'm vertically challenged!

With a 72" bow, I would have to stand a step stool and I would not be able to cant it very far.  I would have trouble with the string coming in contact with my body.

LOL......Trust me, it's taller than me also. I'm only 5' 10"....and I cant everything anyway.

I am just kidding Ron. I use to be 5' 10", I am afraid that I would pull something if I tried to be 5' 10" again.  I am cursed with a wide torso and short arms and the middle part of my torso has been getting wider, I am going to do something about that this winter.

I reached a personal milestone Friday evening when I harvested my 20th big game animal with a trad bow. When I embarked on the journey of going trad only in 2012, I never imagined that I would have been able to take 10 let alone 20 animals in a lifetime. I am truly fortunate and blessed. I've got 9 more to make it 20 with an ASL. I'm looking forward to that journey.

Great buck!!!  I read an article by a former Olympic cross country skier recently and they talked about in hindsight the goal of reaching the Olympics was great but the journey to get there was the most rewarding part. Enjoy your journey!!!

Crispin, great deer and I'm loving the 'look', too. And the JD Berry style hat really sets it off. Congrats on reaching that milestone.

My 72" TEMBO arrived today and it is like new, typical 3 lams of bamboo and black glass back and belly. Looks to be grainy cocobolo for the riser. First thing that got me was that I could not push/pull string it because my arms are to short.    :thumbsup:
