Danzn Bar....1 and 1/2" at fades and parallel to midlimb/tapered to 1" wide 8" from tip and about 3/8" thick and from there it slowly gets thicker to to 1/2" thick/then to 1/2" wide 6" from tip to 7/16" wide tips.
I just watch the bend and take off what I can without taking set.This darn photobucket finally got to working ok here a little bit.

Good looking bow, Ed.

Thanks fellas.
Is this what you mean Cloudfeather?
This just shows the opposing propellers from both sides.

Nice simple osage bow Ed. That centershot wiggle is extra nice.  You have been busy.
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
