Would you save this piece?

M2A:
Thanks Jawge. I figure to start with white wood dimensions and adjust from there.
Thats encouraging to hear Matt. Maybe it's not be poor in compression as I was figuring.

Thanks for all the responses folks. Hope to have time tonight to remove bark and sapwood and get it put in the rafters to season. Maybe pick back up on this piece next year.
Mike

George Tsoukalas:
Once you remove the bark, M2A, osage can check if it is not dry. Some  bowyers shellac the back only.
I prefer to get the back ready to be a bow back...that is...one ring and sanded. Then, I give it a coat of spar urethane spray.
