Scorched back while flipping tips

<< < (2/2)

darinputman:
Is that hickory, hard to tell from picture but looks to have extremely tight growth rings and although scorched area is tiny looks kinda deep. Hopefully it didn't violate the growth ring.
   I personally have had bad luck with scorched backs causing breaks even more so if it is on the edge. If its not through growth ring I would be tempted to treat it as a gouge and sand hole kinda smooth, kinda like a shallow smooth dimple doing away with rough edge. Just my 2 cents good luck and hope it works out for you.

Selfbowman:
 Been there done that. Sometimes it’s not a problem. But I’ve had a few fail. That one looks not so bad. Pats probably right about getting some moisture back in it.
