Hey Jep, How heavy was your bow, and how wide were the limbs?
I have seen osage with these bruise like flaws, and I have made bows out of it up to 60lbs. They were at least 1.75" wide, and probably overbuilt in width.
That's a definite tension break at that flaw so I will now be leaving those areas a little wider.
Shame about the bow it, was looking real good.
