while i was trying to heat bend my board bow i noticed it started to crack, can this be fixed by wrapping and glue or on the belly is it dead?

Which way do the cracks run, across the limb or along the limb? Pics would help.

across it draws after being glued no cracking sound

I've had the belly side of a recurve crack or actually splinter at the bend. I soaked it well with super glue and sanded it smooth.
 What wood?

red oak
