New design for me.

It's a wiley rabbit chasing what your chasing Selfbowman.Seems to me building here if my handle is smaller [i use a bulbous type]with only 1.5" fades my mass gets lower quite a bit.Sometimes too abrupt rise in the fades to handle though.

Well that rabbit was slow!  . 163 fps 180 yards 46-27 500 gr arrow. A good smooth no shock bow but no super bow. Arvin

You'd almost have to have a few staves from the same tree to be really really diagnosing properly woul'nt ya?I don't blame you for wondering about those traapped backs since saplings seem to be kinda spryer most times for some reason,but ya osage is the best balanced wood out there that I know of.Kuddos to ya for trying.

I think its shooting good for the profile it holding,, sure would kill a deer

 That wasn't bad performance at all. maybe not a competition bow but still very respectable. If you would have drawn it to 28" it would have hit 170 and 200 yards.

nice job.  This is an interesting thread... and that is a nice bow.
