I didn't use to think it needed sealing if it was a couple of years old,but have had some problems especially when heating to straighten so now I seal them all when I get the back where I want it.  :) good insurance, I usuall use cheap wood glue cut with water and sometimes shellac or polly. :) Good luck on this one.  :)

Checking occurs from relatively fast drying of wood.  It can be relatively little moisture leaving the wood after chasing a ring on dry osage, but if it is leaving the wood relatively fast, then it can check.  It is all relative man!   ;D

 It has happened to me, so now, like others, I seal osage backs anytime I chase a ring.

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
