Thank you guys. I think that is the longest draw I have tillered a bow to. Definitely a challenge. It was a lower density piece of osage from Clint. I think the lighter mass worked well for the 68" length. It is hard to see in the photos under the snake skin but the back of the bow had some hollows, especially near the fades. it made thickness tapering the limbs challenging.
Thanks Simon. I am glad you noticed the ridged fades. I have picked this style up from two of my favorite bowyers, you and James Rempp. It sure makes it easier to fade the handle into the limbs without getting the latewood/earlywood "steps" that you can get otherwise with osage.
