They are angle cut charcoal actionwood , and osage with a padauk/maple/padauk accent line
-
Well done! :thumbsup:
-
Not a look that I find attractive, but I appreciate the labor and craftsmanship that went into making them. :thumbsup:
Bows could get pretty boring if we all liked the same look!

Does that osage darken up a lot under clear glass? I'd be interested in seeing the finished product on this set of veneers. Kirk
-
Yes, it will darken, don't know if they make a UV resistant finish that will keep it yellow. Think they will look good even when the ydarken tho...
For my hunting, I dislike osage til it darkens a few years...
-
Really doesn't take very long for it to start darkening. It's pretty cool though. You get two different looks of a bow that changes in time. JF

Yep, I built myself a TD recurve and had it around for a year or so. Took the limbs off one day and where they were bolted to riser hadn't faded. Wow!! :saywhat:

Mark, you must have better finish than me, mine darkened a lot. I think I have a 62" all osage, will see if I can find it. It's brown...

Me thinks he meant will the glass darken up the veneers. :tongue:
-
Could be! :)
-
The bowyer is going to send me some finished pics , so we will be able to compare color... :thumbsup:

Ive had several pieces of osage riser material in the basement for a couple years. Very little natural light exposure and it still got pretty dark.

If you can see in the basement without turning the lights on it will turn darker
I have a Osage table in a room without windows and it’s been 10 years and It’s still yellow
-
That gets your attention. Really like the grey. The yellow might scare the ravin's off the mountain.

I love Gold
