Yeah, when you first open up the osage, you love the bright yellow color, then when it darkens, you fall in love with the soft honey color.

I had a Widow PCH X with some Osage in the likbs and copperhead skins with Osage one the belly and i would leave it in the sun about 1 hour a day and WOW it had a lot of grain to it.
I had to sell that beautiful bow when things got bad for me, i would love to have it back. Best shooting bow i have ever shot.

A tip that I read somewhere,probably here, is to wipe down the osage just before finishing with Clorox. This gives you that beautiful honey amber color right away. I did a riser a couple years ago and tried this and it came out very nice. John

Thats my Osage 62in Expedition that he is featuring on his site, the riser and the limb veneers are Osage it does have a little Becote and Phenolic on the riser but that is it for woods, limbcores are bamboo and I have say that is exactly look that I wanted! Nate and I consulted a lot about that bow before he built it!

I have a ton of bows with osage limbs. I used to own an all osage Abbott longbow that was about 20 years old that was a dark brown and it had some light yellow and red streaks that was awesome. I currently own 2 Tree's custom recurves. One is all osage and the other has an osage handle with osage cores and black walnut in the limbs. Bamboo is the preferred limb core of most but osage will deliver and is a hardy material.
