checking splits in sapwood, is there a cure?

RuddyDarter:
Thanks WillS, I'll have a look into that some time, get this one up and running for now...looking o.k?  I'm hitting a little under125@31 at the minute, there wasn't enough wood at the centre to keep the weight in the limbs. I think I'll  leave it like that and be a little friendly on those side shakes.
The weight balances bang on at the centre.
I suppose that's about it.  :)

Ruddy Darter:
I took a little off in places to try and even out a bit, is this looking o.k.?, (only drawn to 30@1/2" in pic) sorry for the angle, didn't  want to worry the neighbours.

WillS:
Bottom limb could do with some scraping about 6-8" below the handle.  Kind of where the grass starts, down to that small dark patch of grass.  Nitpicking, though.  Looks nice.

Ruddy Darter:
Got ya WillS, I see where you mean...I'll have another little scrape there over the weekend while I work on the cut down bow. Thanks bud. 8)
