Thanks for the offer but you know my new policy on shooting other people's bows.  :o

(Plus my old shoulder might have some say in the matter as well.)

Id like to add that the original plan was to have this bow sapwood backed.  But due to it cracking on the back when I deflexed the fades I decrowned it. But, the decrowned back has a yellow heartwood streak down the back and sap on the edges. Looks pretty cool. I am gluing the handle on now soni will post more pics when thats dried and shaped.

Do you have an unbraced pic? I was just curious to the original profile.

Hey cool project. What does the unbraced profile look like? That should tell us a lot about the cast.

Here it is braced. I will get an un braced profile tomorrow after the handle has dried.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.  I look forward to good performance from this one. I just wish I could get the set down by half.  Of course, this is not heat treated so perhaps if I do that it will help.

If you wanted to make a 70# @28" bow that is 49" ttt out of Osage Orange, assuming that your Osage Orange has a MOR of 18,650 and a MOE of 1,689,000, then the math for a pyramid-type bow shows a bow of 0.329" thick and 4.35" wide.
