Great idea. I like how the white turns transparent and let's the Osage color show through. Do you think this will change color under the backing?
Excellence is a state of mind.  Whether you think you can or can't...you're right!

Yes, the osage darkens under the backing.  I have one that I did several years ago that is turning a nice orange color.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Clint, Could you post a pic of the older one with the color change? I know they are zebra and not tiger but that orange showing through brings my Bengals to mind. When I first looked at this post my first thought was oh crap when that wood changes colors that will be so freaking sweet.

Anything for a fellow Who-Dey Nation member.  I have thought the same thing about a Bengals bow.  To get that true orange color you might have to dye it some.

Here is the bow I did several years ago compared to a fresh one I'm working on.  I think it will get darker.  This bow doesn't see much sunlight.

The offer still stands on a stave if you need it.  Good luck!
