Damn, having theoretically proved the wood from some logs by making and shooting the billet bow I was working on a slightly heavier one for the guy who brought over the logs. It looked like much cleaner wood but had a waggle in one limb... it turns out the waggle had rather swirling grain and it exploded there at a fairly modest bend at 80#.
Just goes to show you can't really be certain until the bow is finished.
I've finished the 110# @31" warbow and done a nice video showing the character detail
