Just finished this one. I do like Osage and 15n20 combination. My phone camera doesn't take the best photos . Hope you like.

Another good one mate. Osage is very nice just a shame it goes brown with age.

It is a shame about going brown . I did UV treat it before oiling it I'll see how that goes.

UV treating? Is that some sort of finish?

A mate gave me some solvent based polymer wood stabilizer that he used when he had a furniture business. It's supposed to stop the ultra violet from changing the colour of wood. I think it's inevitable that the Osage will turn brown though.

Ok thanks for the info. Hopefully it will help with the darkening. I have Osage Orange self bows and they have gone brown with age but still a beautiful wood.
