Your not showing where it is in relation to the bending part of each Limb....there is a good possibility that You could leave it in there and Tiller it out with the Round right where it is...I would surely give it a go ...before I pulled it out....JMO

It is in the mid-limb, right where you should start tapering towards the tip.  It is about 1 1/2" thick still and the bullet is mushroomed out inside the knot.  As mush as I would like to leave it there, it just isn't possible.  I'm just hoping to be able to make it into a bow.  The growth rings aren't very good at all, so I am making it overbuilt and low stress.  I was just working on chasing a ring on it.  I feel like a surgeon working on somebody.  Here is what I have done on it so far.
