LOL...yep...did not say that one was dark milk chocolate but it will continue to darken...

my point was that osage is going to darken and some dont realize that they are going to lose that bright yellow or mild tan color when they first see it....

I agree with you...the one I showed in pic is not dark...but well on the way.  :)

Gorden Glass is now making a different shade of brown that I'm excited to make a bow out of.  The old brown is really reddish brown.  Almost a dark burgany.  the new brown is lighter color and brown, brown.  I think it will be more fitting with a lot of different riser wood.  
The new Bear '59 ers have the new brown glass.  Chad

I can't tell from the picture.  The new stuff has no red tint to it.  If yours has a red tint it is different.

Real brown glass would be great! Nothing like feathering in brown glass overlays that look burgundy when done  :D

Which color would you call the brown glass Bob Lee uses? I had a sportsman takedown, with brown glass, that I didn't notice a reddish cast on; but, maybe I didn't look close enough. It was much lighter than the brown glass, on the red wing hunter, I had at the same time.
