Something to remember is the harder woods like Osage, Hop Hornbeam are much harder to work down, which is good, because a slip on an Osage stave is a very small thing to fix, The same slip on a softer wood is a big mistake to fix.
An easy style to start on is a pyramid limb.It is a straight taper from the fades to the tips. The Maple board bow my granddaughter is shooting in the pictures is a pyramid style limb.
