They are angle cut charcoal actionwood , and osage with a padauk/maple/padauk accent line

Well done!

Not a look that I find attractive, but I appreciate the labor and craftsmanship that went into making them.

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...

Jeff tech · July 31, 2022, 03:12:23 PM

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!!

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...

Mad Max · July 31, 2022, 09:06:19 PM

Me thinks he meant will the glass darken up the veneers.

kennym · July 31, 2022, 11:26:06 PM

Could be!
