What do you think of this checking

Osage self bow 35# @ 28”

I’ve had this bow for about a decade now sitting mostly finished and recently retillered and prettied it up. Shot about ~ 200 arrows through it since then

This one came off the inside of a stave that had some very deep cracks running from the pith which I couldn’t completely cut out (I think they might’ve formed before the tree was cut down). They run completely though the lower limb of this bow. I filled them with superglue and they’ve never given me any issues, but I’ve recently been considering selling off this one and wanted to get some other opinions first.

Wow thats a sweet looking bow! I also think those checks add a nice bit of character and you will be fine with them

Agreed. Cool bow. Checks stay well inside the edges of the limbs, totally safe.

In 28 years of bow making I have never had a problem with superglue filled checks on a bow. My motto is "fill them and forget them".

I don't even waste the superglue anymore.

None of those is heading for the edge of the bow and thus represents no issue at all.
