Hey fellas. I have an interest in your opinions. I have a very dense piece of osage that has some obstacles for me. Not serious individually but rather a congregation of pin knots on one limb, the other is flawless. I have it roughed out to 62 ttt, 1 3/4 wide at the fade tapered to one inch 5 inches from the tip. Later I will Eiffel Tower this to 3/4 tapering to 3/8 inches. My dilemma is this: Should I back it? I've got some bamboo planks from a 6 inch pole. If I do this, can i leave it 1 3/4? If not, then why? I want this thing to be impressive in all aspects, speed, beauty, smoothness, balance. What to do? Thank yall!
