Radius, I was referring to the darker-colored, reddish tinged osage which is what your bow appears to be made from unless you have a funky exposure on the pics. The reddish stuff is usually denser and makes a better bow than the light electric-yellow osage. Most people who've worked with a good bit of osage will know what i'm talking about. I've seen some with blood-red streaks through it, looks awesome with a good finish over it.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Quite the weapon. Nicely done and bookmarked for May Laminate Bow of the Month, too.

HIllbilly, this wood definitely has some red streaks in the grain, you're right.  Got it from Pine Hollow (Arkansas, i think)...

Thanks for the good words, guys...i appreciate the support.

  Know what you are talking about Steve. The stave I got from Pappy I made the Plain Jane bow was dark red.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
