ken, you missed it on the other side too. You are in a cross grain situation and that's not good. Jawge

The sap wood would always crack and pull up on me.  braking when i was tillering on the tree real quick to show its not strong enough if your lucky you can remove it and still make the bow but most time I have just had some fire wood

Looks to me like you didn't follow the long axis grain, either. Not the end of the world, but it ups the risk of your stave failing. What happens when you cut across the long grain axis is: grain run off = a weak spot. Some woods, like osage can handle that better, but it's usually not a good thing. I'm glad it held together for you.
