Thanks for the advice everyone. I usually shoot heavy bows but I just wanna get a nice hunting weight shooter out of my first try with Osage. I'm hoping for 55 pounds give or take 10 pounds, lol. As for the tips, I usually go for bout 3/8" with overlays. Think I'll go with pin nicks for this one though, so I'm guessin even less material will be needed. Been seeing a lot of really cool bows on here with pins.. Kinda made me wanna make a few in that style.

I'm just being overly cautious. Can't throw a stick around here without hitting an Osage tree but never tried it cuz I'm not very experienced with staves. Been researching myself silly in preparation. Thought I'd ask before getting too invested.

follow that split and see if it will come of complete! i had a little piece like that that turned into one of my favorite light weight bows! it doesn't take a lot of osage to make a shooting stick!!!
