I owe you three bows where I had questions about. I promised to show you the outcome. This is the first:
I flooded the back with superglue to fill the cracks as you recommended.
Thanks again for your help!
I went for an asymmetric pyramid design, as the width at „the around the knot“ - section was very narrow. I started with 14cm reflex. It holds 11,5 reflex resting, after unbracing 1/2“ dynamic set.
Shot a bunch of arrows with it as I finished it in spring, and since its my bow to go for 3D parkour.
Draws smooth and fires an arrow super silent. 0 hand shock.
I´m very pleased and happy with my first osage.

10" - 9,5# +5,5#
12  - 15     +4
14  - 19     +3,5
16  - 22,5  +3
18  - 25,5  +3,5
20  - 29     +3,5
22  - 32,5  +4
24  - 36,5  +4

I do this with a analog hanging scale, so it is not 100%.

The tips aren't really tapered, sorry the photos aren't really clear about that. Cross-section is rectangular except the transmission from limb to fade are hollowed out a little bit. I also start to like the look of this string groove overlays.

not sure what you mean with extra effort, but the hardest part was/is to forget about this cracks. The main bend of this pyramids should occur close to the handle, exactly where the micro cracks are I´m still alerted and check the back after each session. also I chickened to draw it until my desired 28" draw length. But the built of this pyramids isn't that hard, on this one I was lucky to get the string aligned without another correction.
