Hairline crack on belly of Osage stick near handle. Glued it, clamped it. It does not go all the way through limb. What else can  I do? Wrap with artificial sinew and epoxy it? Wrap in wet rawhide, dry, and epoxy it. Or, what do you suggest? Should I just burn it? 😢[attachment=1][attachment=2]

I would wrap it with real sinew or rawhide. Artificial sinew stretches too much and will frey if exposed.
Nice looking selfbow.

I would have put super thin super glue into the crack first then finish like Pat said.

But sinew you already glued it, finish as Pat said.
