Thanks guys. I guess I shouldn't say ugly, but its the most difficult stave I have worked on. I had a few choice words to say to it :)

Very good looking bow. It's just a darn shame that Osage has to darken with age. I just love the yella wood grain look.

Thanks guys.

I'm sure it will continue to darken, I kinda like the way it looks with age. I don't do too much when I finish my bows, it's just sanded to 220 and then hit with some 0000 steel wool. Then I rub it with an orange oil/bees wax mix a couple of times.

Agreed just wanted to say it myself, that's a great looking bow, you did wonderfully with that stave. Definitely found the bow in it.
