Looks like a real nice character bow. I would lay the bow out so the knots are in the middle. Look forward to seeing it a bow.

Don't get your hopes up!  :laugh:

 I don't pay knots much thought in osage. I'd just make a bow.

What is the best tool to get the indented areas around the knots down to a ring? I used a small chisel, but I feel like there is probably an easier way.
