Thanks Josh.  I really slowed down and never pushed this one at any point, right up to 27 inches, but I gotta say that if this were any other wood than Osage there would have been no bow to make in any proportion.  Couple that with the spring steel hardness of this particular stave and I think this baby was just meant to be a bow, long before I stumbled across it.  Thanks again to all.

Very old osage does have a radically different feel.  "Waxy" late growth is a great description.  But the crumbly early wood is exaggerated, it is a wonderful wood to chase growthrings on!
