If you don't mind that I add on a question here; if you have a knot deeper in the heartwood and it makes one of those raised sections in the bending part of the limb will this be a problem?  I have worked Osage like this and it seems to do great you just have to kinda squint when tillering.  I have never worked BL and want to do this right.  Do I have a deal breaker or what?

Work it the same as you would osage. Locust works similar to osage IMO it just doesn't have the same compression charactoristics.
