Thanks Sleek! I was pretty apprehensive at first but it's turned out to be nice.
That's really cool that you can run those numbers. I'm sure I have a piece somewhere, I definitely trimmed it. I'll find it in the morning and see if I can cut out a one inch block and get the SG for you.
I can promise the tiller is not perfect so I'm sure I did not max out it's potential. It did surprise me in that it felt similar to some hard maple under the scraper. It dents a bit easier than expected. But the wood sure is pretty.
But I'll see if I can get find a chunk tomorrow, I'd love to know.

I’m having trouble connecting to the site. Keep gett A message saying SMF is failing to connect. Is it me, or something with the site?

First off, thays a fantastic job on an unusual wood. I ran your dimensions through my calculator and without knowing the exact specific gravity of the wood I went for .71 ( the average ) and came up with .48 inches of set if the wood is air dried. Apple can actually approach osage in density or be down closer to hickory so it has a wide swing. At the average of .71 your bow should take .48 inches of set. Considering you have 1 inch and assuming your tiller is perfect and the wood is dry, the density is likely .63. Do you have any off cuts of that wood to test?
