68" of osage
This piece I have been fighting for 6 months off and on to get handle and tips to line up. And when I.finally get it, it's pretty dry has cracked and I am not sure if I can make a bow from it or not. No reason not to try. 66" 4" handle 4" fades. Taper to 1/2" tips was from midlimb measured from end of fade to tip. 1.5" wide. With the cracks on belly not sure how deep I will have to go so I don't really have a weight goal right now. Bow had a little bit of snake in it.

That will be a nice bow. Love the snakey ones.

Re: 68" of osage
the limb thickness will probably be thinner than you would expect compared to other woods.

It's a 67in American Flat. It's got a slightly wanky limb...we'll see how it goes.

Re: 68" of osage
if those cracks are running lengthwise, may not be as bad of an issue. you may have to fill with the superglue. but cracks do make a guy very nervous and rightly so.
Re: 68" of osage
I was able to get below them chasing another couple.rings. belly cracks should go away as I tiller also
