I painted my huntin bow for this year...
Very nice Kenny, I've always thought about doing it . Just never did it. Nice job. Great colored combination bud. JF
Nice :thumbsup:
I dunno, they are ok, I guess.
:laughing:
The good thing is, you don't have to like em! :laughing: :wavey:
Those look great, what are the woods involved?
Mark
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
