A shortie or molle, my favorites to make, for Osage staves at least fifty inches long, decent early/late wood ratios, don't have to be perfectly clean but I'd like to be able to make at least one bow without a lateral bend treatment, preferably dry but if if wet is all I can get so be it, not sure how many staves for a bow so make an offer :)
All I've got is locust, so you've got to be okay with something snappy ;)
I usually make my shorties r/d and use single nocks when I'm allowed, work down to bare minimum width and very minimal taper toward the tips, usually do a cord wrap and use it as the arrow pass.
I usually leave my molles with simple reflex trough the whole bow, could to some r/d if I must, usually let the levers just barely bend at full draw, overlays on top of an extra growth ring for tips, have bacote, cocobolo, ipe, ebony, black walnut, hickory, purpleheart, and a little leopardwood, can do the handle pretty much however you want it though I'm short on leather.
I don't have a lot of my equipment or a really reliable workspace so it could take me a bit to make anything, so I'm in no rush.
