Compression fractures on the back when drying a sapling stave
scp:
If chrysal is too deep, you can try to make a backward bow, turning the current back into belly.

How would this be different from decrowning the existing back?
Jim Davis:
If those are compression fractures, the fibers are not broken. They might not fail in tension. I'd just make the bow and see what happens. If it fails, it's only wood and you are where it grows.
Tommy D:
So far so good… at about 22 inches….
Just started to take a tiny bit if set and I think I may toast the belly before going further …
Pictures tomorrow …
Fox:
Yeah… that’s totally just in the cambium, I really don’t think it will be a problem. I’m guessing that if you have removed the cambium that there’s none in the wood.
