Muskyman:
Top/back of bow

Muskyman:
Outside edge

Pat B:
Without having the stave in front of me it's hard to say but if you can clear the knot completely then I would go around it. It's a judgement call.

Muskyman:
By go around do you mean take it out? If I narrow the limbs I might be able to get rid of it, maybe. Limbs are 1 1/2 inches the way they are drawn on the stave and it was a limb not the trunk of the tree.  If you look you can see the pith in the stave. I think I値l thin the thickness down then try to make a call on what to do. I知 hoping if I do that I値l get a better idea of what to do.

Thanks for your help and thoughts Pat. I値l post when I get thinned down and maybe take a few more pictures. Probably end up firewood but I知 going to see what happens. Not going to try to make it to heavy, hopefully that値l help.

Pat B:
Thin the limbs down and see how the knot looks. You could leave the knot and that area of the limb would be a little stiff.
