So I cut a lot of osage back in May, ended up having some powder post beatles so I debarked and took sap wood off every single piece to get rid of the little buggers and save my investment. I only had a few pieces that were beyond saving. Got it all sealed and stored in the shed out back, so I took a couple of pieces and roughed out two staves steamed them and straightened them as much as possible. I let them set for several days before using dry heat to fine tune the straightness on them. My moisture meter says they are 6 -9 %MC. So I thought I Would finish one of them. It is 66" ttt, 1 3/8" wide to mid-limb and tapered to 1/2 " tips. The limb taper from fade out to tip of bow is gradual, the thickness does not drop below 3/8". (3/4" thick at fades dropping 1/16" every 1 1/2" ) But for some reason it is only drawing 25-30 lbs. I hunt with a bow that the limb thickness is less and it draws almost 45 lbs. Is it possible that this wood is still to green and my cheap moisture meter lied to me? I would have to cut 5" off each end just to bring it up to 40lbs, but then Im worried that a 56" bow may be to short
