The third heartwood ring down looks good.

If there's too much early wood I leave the bow wider. Other than that I pay little attention to it. Jawge

Arvin,

In your picture, am I correct in saying that the #1 choice is to far down, there would not be enough wood left to make a bow?

No those are the pics of choice in ring thickness.
Well I'll say!!  Osage is king!!
