Post by: Hillbilly on May 12, 2008, 10:47:11 am: Radius, I was referring to the darker-colored, reddish tinged osage which is what your bow appears to be made from unless you have a funky exposure on the pics. The reddish stuff is usually denser and makes a better bow than the light electric-yellow osage. Most people who've worked with a good bit of osage will know what i'm talking about. I've seen some with blood-red streaks through it, looks awesome with a good finish over it.

Thanks for the good words, guys...i appreciate the support.
