Nice bow dude. I was working (slooowwwly) on a 56 incher for myself (hunting bow) and when I was weighing it last night it just exploded. Never had it happen like that. It was a freak thing I guess. I will say this, after the bow failed, it was still strung (about half of the limb splintered out) and so I shot it just to see how much it could take. It still pulled probably 40 pounds and did not crack any further. Osage is the king. Time to start over. Best of luck to you this fall with your new beauty, look forward to seeing pics.
