How does the cedar do over time when sealed like this under clear glass? Do you get much of the graying or is it not a problem,  thanks!

[Mark Smeltzer]

I have never seen it graying, I've seen bows that are 5 or 6 years old with cedar and they look as good as when they were built.
I think the cedar is really good looking plus smells  good to work with.

The second one looks like black palm. Any better shots?  Love the look of that stuff.

[Mark Smeltzer]

It is Black Palm. Extremely pourus. I have more pictures but they are really hard to post from my phone.
