After much putting off I've decided its time I tried to make my carriage bow. The plan is for a 50/60# Osage self bow. There is a little snake to the billets and i wondered on others design opinions.

I would have liked to get a nice sttraightt limbed elb out of the billets but i think i'll have t follow the snake for strength, unless iback the bow with hickory, which will make a more stable long lasting bow. Hmmm I do always find this bit the hardest with a new bow. Actually trying to see thee bow hiding in the wood.
So what would you do?
