Thanks Pappy, On the tanning, I already have it scraped just going to demo how to wring it out. Then I will wait till Sunday and finish stretching and drying it. The smoke demo will be done at a later date.

I too am looking forward to Iowa Jam in March.  While out of the state this winter I collect some 4 to 5 inch diameter bamboo.  I hope to get some tips in March as to how to use it to back a bow.  There sould be plenty to trade.  I cut it just before the first of the year in Louisiana. It should be cured by March. It is just now loosing the green color here in Arizona.  Any suggestions on handling and processing?

Hey John and guys, great time today!  We would have liked to stay longer but as usual weather jacked that up.   Tell Annette that Shell will be ready for a few more laps to the maple pots about June :) Did the boys get their bows done?......pics?

Wow what a day they just left.  12 hours of string building bow building and  our monthly meeting/shoot. I had really great help from the group and did not have to watch every tiller check and that was cool.  Here are a couple pictures from the day.
Silver john I have not backed with boo but Craig has and maybe he can answer questions but many on this site have and can be of great help to you. Looking forward to meeting you as well.

Here are a couple pics of them shootin their bows and Craig breaking a stick just as poor tyler starts to pull his bow.  After these pics they finished the tips.
