Would you worry about this ?

Im planing on making this bow 1 1/2 wide for 2/3 of length then tapper 3/8 in. 68 1/2 ntn 50lb. @29 in. that knot would be roughly 7 inches out of the fade , would you worry about it ?

I wouldn't worry as long you take it down a few rings and handle them properly.  When I take them down a few rings, I usually leave these until last, Isolate this section and sometimes if you can get under the early wood, it pops right off.

[John Scifres]

You could leave it in as long as you chased the ring.  Take it out if you have enough width.

[Eric Krewson]

I have made a lot of bows with cut through pins on the edge of the limbs, never had a failure.

[BowEd]

I have put them that close with no problem but not through them on the edge so I can't say that.Yours looks doable though.Your projected bow is long enough and that'll help ya.I'd go for it if I was you but it's really not my call it's yours.

I wouldn't worry about it, rather not have it there but as with most Osage you always have something like that somewhere. Leave a little wood around it and carry on is what I would do.
