I was exercising the limbs after wood removal and . . . CRACK! Lifted a large splinter on the back, right down the middle, bout 8-9 inches long. Here's the damage:

The culprit is a sneaky little pin knot that i missed, or neglected since it was sooo small . . .

I know this just shows my inexperience in dealing with staves, so it's a little embarrassing

I'm gonna patch'r up and back her. Here's what i have... superglue, TBII, arty sinew, nylon serving thread. What is your recommended fix on this? Should i wrap before i apply the backing or after? Either using silk or linen.
Arrrrgh!
