That is green Tandy leather dye.  This next one is with chocolate wiped over the top of the green.

here is what I have so far ,here in the house(I know none lighter than these.)

.360=  52# average

.350 = 47# average

I havent built any light bows off it yet,but my "guess" would be .010" = 5#  so around .320" to .325"

There is room to trim and/or trap if heavy,and piking to 62" gains 6# on the 50ish weight bows if light.

Hope this helps!
