Really nice looking bow!  Looks like a smooth shooter.  How long does the string last?

Interesting to see the BOM going again.  Got some other projects going but will look to get back on a bow before long.

When I retiller an aged bow and leave light areas it doesn't take these areas more than a year or so to blend right back in.

The dark area of your osage back is very thin, a light sanding will lighten it some to match the stripes with out violating a ring.

Clorox will darken the stipes as well.

I agree with Badger.

It looks like a tan line

Exposure to sunlight will darken it

Sand it all down smooth, its patina WILL come back. You can speed it up with ammonia.
