Thanks for the offer but you know my new policy on shooting other people's bows.  :o

Id like to add that the original plan was to have this bow sapwood backed.  But due to it cracking on the back when I deflexed the fades I decrowned it. But, the decrowned back has a yellow heartwood streak down the back and sap on the edges. Looks pretty cool. I am gluing the handle on now soni will post more pics when thats dried and shaped.

Do you have an unbraced pic? I was just curious to the original profile.

Hey cool project. What does the unbraced profile look like? That should tell us a lot about the cast.

Here it is braced. I will get an un braced profile tomorrow after the handle has dried.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.  I look forward to good performance from this one. I just wish I could get the set down by half.  Of course, this is not heat treated so perhaps if I do that it will help.

If you wanted to make a 70# @28" bow that is 49" ttt out of Osage Orange, assuming that your Osage Orange has a MOR of 18,650 and a MOE of 1,689,000, then the math for a pyramid-type bow shows a bow of 0.329" thick and 4.35" wide.
