Originally posted by Jim Boettcher: Onestringer, I hope you don't mind; but I just ordered that exact same bow yesterday. I saw your bow on another thread here and fell in love with that wood combo. Toby at Black Widow said you got some very special osage there which he could not duplicate. So I'm hoping it darkens naturally over time. I did get the the limb bolt overlays laser engraved with a deer and turkey though. Beautifull bow you have there. I'll post pics of mine in a few months. Jim
