Looking good.

Ruddy Darter:
Thanks Del,
I just finished marking out and ready to go, the outer limbs are marked out a little thicker for now, and I'm probably going to need to tweek with some heat at some point.

Muskyman:
I can’t help but will be watching. I want to see how you deal with all those knots. Should be interesting. Looking good to me.

Hamish:
It does look good so far, but I wouldn't be surprised if you end up narrowing the width down to about 31mm. At the current width with osage I wouldn't be surprised if your stave could give you well over 100lbs. See how it goes anyway, it will be a nice bow.

Ruddy Darter:
Thanks guys, 
 I was thinking of going 31mm wide and losing the knots above and below the centre, I'll see how I get on with it as it is for now, if the wood can handle a heavier draw weight that will be a bonus.Thanks again, having fun with this Osage  :), I'll post progress.
 ..I got it roughed down to the marks,
 R.D.
