Nice.  I'm curious, was the straight side sawn or were both sides split?  Odd to have a different profile on the 2 sides.  Nice thick rings on that one.  Good luck,

Very nice looking stick of osage. Nice thick rings but more importantly, nice thin early wood.......that'll be a good one.

Nice...  I have a band saw and I'm not sure I could get the limbs any more squared up than that.  I don't use my band saw much for shaping anymore.  Too easy to take off too much wood.  That's going to be a good bow.
