Good decision.  I'd bet that bow would have broken if you hadn't of removed those rings to see what was the cause.

You would have poured two bottles of glue into empty voids. Glad you chose to attack it correctly.

Moral of the story: when it comes to Osage, always go with the Outlaw and the Pearl.

You should ask for your money back!

That first ring that you took off was pretty good. It's the outer 10% of a limb that does 90% of the work. I still think you would have had a bow if you had left it. Can't prove it now.

Jim he has already taken four rings off and those voids only got bigger. What do you suppose the belly side would have looked like had he left it as-is and "just made a bow"? I think you know that answer.

Yep good decision to remove rings.Those cracks were not drying type checks.Pretty suspicious.Not being able to handle the wood is a disadvantage.
