  Allen, I bought it in the clear doug fir section which is supposed to be kiln dried but I am doubting the dryness.

Steve,
It seems like you have an exceptional board there!  If you get a chance, can you create a straight dowel from it and do a spine/deflection test on it?  If it is truly exceptional in stiffness, then it has the potential to add much more distance to your shots as arrows rather than a bow.

Alan I was joking but it would be cool to make arrows and  a bow from the same piece of wood.
Well I'll say!!  Osage is king!!

That would be funny!

Steve,
There is always the option to set the oven to 375 and bake a few few pieces for 15-20 minutes. May need to bind the blanks to something straight to keep them from curling up.
