Gentlemen,
It's been sitting in my basement for almost to years, mid 40's to low 60's F, 30-50% humidity. What about clamping the scar from side to side while steaming it? Would that hinder the wood to expand/move and with that take off some of the risk of cracking it? And thinking about it I could always glue on nocks if I need to get a better string angle. I think you guys are right about straighten the limb and untwisting it, I think now I'm just a little worried about the scar messing things up.
Marco: Did yours check badly? This one had big deep checks and I didn't think there was a bow in there but I was lucky. I think 80% of my lilac staves are not gonna work out.
