While attending MoJam this year, a couple of young men came by out camp (Okie Camp) with a Red Oak board bow with a crack in the side. They asked about possibly fixing it and we made some suggestions and loaned em a clamp and some sinew.  It was a beautiful red stain on the bow. I was impressed with the richness of the color. I cannot find any such stain (Cabranet) in my neck of the woods.  I cannot remember the lad's name, but you'll know who you are. PLEASE shoot me a pm so that I can contact you about your source for that stain. I've gotta have some of it.  Thanks, Ralph

I think they were from Illinois, somewhere near Chicago.

The young man told me his Trad Gang handle, but I can't remember it!

OK-anyone else know where to get that stain?

Ralph, I can't help you with the Cabranet but I do have a nice Merlot   :D  

I am serious though. I got it from lowes and it was made by olympic..maybe there is a pattern .Do you have a lowes?
