These pitures confirm what I thought, Bocote makes a beautiful arrow launcher! Does this wood get darker with age, as I have heard this from some people?

Here's a Medicine Point Trails End I used to own in Bocote.
It has a Cocobolo center stripe.
Dale once told me 60% of his bow orders were in Bocote.
It is one of my top 3 favorites.

Bocote and Pau Ferro riser. Cari-bow Silver Fox longbow.

 

I have been told Bocote will darken with age although I dont know it to be true. This bow is only 5 months old.
