10 years later... my Osage is ready.
Pat B:
Yes, put some glue in the checks, give it a while to cure and add more. Like I said it may take several sessions. Also, watch out for the fumes. Sometimes in situations like this the super glue will flash off emitting dangerous fumes.
It won't hurt to add glue to the sides too. Are they cracks or wind shakes?

I'm not too sure how to tell the difference but once I got the limb near the final shape I eliminated most of the issue. There is the one very large one on the side near the handle that I'm most worried. Going to try the glue and see what comes of it.
Pat B:
How about a pic.
Muskyman:
Hope it works out for you. Stick a picture of your bad spot on here, someone might be able to help. I’d like to see it for my own endeavors in case I run into something similar.
Good luck

On the previous page the middle picture is the one in the side. I can update an updated picture tonight. The check doesn't look as bad now the material is removed around it. After tonight I should be able to start doing some tillering. I'll have to get the checks glues up first but that will give me time to build a new tillering rack. I also need to improve the rest on the red oak bow before opening day in about a week.
