Looking good!
Don't worry about the colour just leave it on a windowsill or somewhere in the sunlight (

) and turn it over now and again

I sometimes use a walnut or other dark stain. Let it dry then sand most of it off again and the dye will stay in the earlywood pores...maybe not for everyone but I like the look

The outer limbs/tips can be surprisingly narrow...or a better word might be scary! I've made my last osage recurve tips 3/8ths at the nocks...of course they need to line up to go that narrow
