On the belly, blackening is not a problem. I usually roast them to a nice chocolate brown color. I use a heat gun for this and other heat corrections.

Limbs look like they are bending well, but i'm not fond of the patina colored riser.... You definitely have some wild color combos going Mike.   It's hard to beat that limb design. looks familiar. :bigsmyl:

Bow looks fine, but you need to change that drum and have some flowers on the wall :bigsmyl:

Yes all Osage - some better than others.  I was hoping, keeping them under the eave would suffice, but I may need to look at another option. I just really don't have space inside for it.  Maybe my brother-in-law will let me store it in his big farm machine shed? Not very convenient, but its not like I'll be utilizing it daily??

And... Direct sunlight should be avoided. i'd throw a tarp over it and some rocks on top, and keep it open on the ends.

Yesterday morning there was a serious frost on the coast, but today it’s 72 degrees and sunny…. Last year we had 3” snow on April 23rd.  :o :o   Ya just never know.

I hit this riser with ferris nitrate and blushed it.  Wet it out to see how it's going to look.  Not sure I like it but going to stay with it.
