Thanks Pat. I've read the book multiple times but sometimes forget.  :-[ I have numerous osage staves with different size rings mixed in and that's where my mind was. I'll post some pics in the bow section of some brought to me this weekend by one of our locals.

Fred, you can still make a good bow with uneven growth rings you just won't have the grain "flames" running down the center of the belly.
