fer what it’s worth, I have hundreds of shots with a slim tipped 64# osage selfbow…….no tip overlays, and TS-plus with slightly padded loops. I’ll probably never use B-50 again for any self bow more than 40#………fast flight and the other “high tech” string materials are about as primitive as dacron in my opinion:roll:………they just work better:wink:.

Could be worse……could be an osage or yew log perfectly pipe straight with no knots…..but twisted the same:twisted:. Keep looking for decent wood I had a lot of trouble finding birch(one of the only decent bow woods in my area) without spiral grain. I finally did, but I made a bit of firewood first.
Best of luck,
Darcy:)

If it is more than very slightly twisted I’d basically consider it firewood. The other possibility would be to make a board out of it and then back it with something…….the twist should not be too much trouble on the belly.
Best of luck,
Darcy
