BL is my favorite selfbow wood.  I would go do to the first heartwood ring, make the bow 65" ntn, 1 & 5/8" wide at fades out to 13" from tips, then to 1/2 4" from tips, and eventually work it to slip tips.

if possible jump on amazon or somewhere and order traditional boyers bible volume one , you would have it in a few days and will save you some of the grief that i went through. it answers lots of questions that stump beginers .or you could break em for two years like me before i read the instructions
