Tapering a Osage slat question

Well this one is a wrap. While cleaning it up so I can reglue the crack it decided to break even more with the slightest pressure and looking inside it look pithy and very very dry if that makes sense. Looks like I知 all done until I can secure more material. This just sucks. Thanks all for the advice

Muskyman:
That sucks razorbak. Hopefully your next stave is perfect. Maybe someone on here knows a way around it.. lot of knowledge on here. I致e seen posts where they fixed some crazy stuff. Seems like I remember someone drilling out some bad areas and plugging them.. or maybe I dreamed it..
post pictures of it, you never know.

Thank you guys for the support I知 not sure when I値l be attempting another build as 13 failures took the wind out of my sails
I had cut a log of hickory back in the fall and sealed it after splitting it and just went to check it out and it twisted in opposite directions on both ends and I知 not gonna attempt that one. I might go looking for another hickory tree this weekend but at this point I got to get motivated again because I知 beyond frustrated with all these failures
I remember an article that Mr. Torges wrote about cutting a plug and patching a limb but I don稚 have that skill set
