I tried to let is season for at least 6 months, but i couldnt do it. No willpower
62" pulling 46lb at 25" shot approx 300 arrows through it, I am definitely the Osage band wagon now, this wood is great!

Very nice work. Not much not to love about Osage no matter where it grows.

"Wish they all could be california sage".. the beach bows song, never made the charts like the beach boys version. Ok, that is enough dork from me today...and that is not enough seasoning on that sage!
Looks like a nice bend. I imagine shoots pretty well as it is, but I bet a good heat treating of that belly would really pump up the performance on that green yeller wood.

Yep. Good on you to see the tiller issues. Not bending as much mid limb as further in.
However, if you get those parts bending as they should, you should be able to safely draw it another inch or so to the same weight.

Your working damp wood still. You heat treat much and you will get checks down the belly open before your eyes. It will gain draw weight as it dries.
