I got this stave from clint  (scrub-buster or osage outlaw) At the Tn. Classic this year
Thanks clint

60" long  33@28

The stave was very narrow, so I scraped the sides on one end until I got enough thickness to make a bow, then I matched the wide end to the narrow end.I got the tiller and the poundage close at the Classic


the bow sucked up some moisture at the classic.
So when I got home I let it dry in the bow room for 3 weeks or so and heat treated the belly, back to flat and finished the tiller


This is the width I ended up with
   


It's 7/8" at the handle and 5/16 before the pin nocks
   
3/16" pin nocks

   


   


   

   


   

THANKS TO ALL THE GUY'S AT THE CLASSIC
I had a blast

Very nice work.  What did you use to stain it?

It's hard to make a wooden bow which isn't beautiful, even if it's ugly.
