I've just taken a Shag Bark Hickory core with a Madake Bamboo backing bow off the mold. I was trying one of Dean Torges mold designs. It incorporates a single center post. (I generally use two center posts, about 4 inches apart. Anyway, sometime during the setup period the Hickory splintered just under the bamboo backing, (center of the handle). It is a splinter kind of thing that goes from one side to the other, about 1 inch in length. Suggestions for repair would certainly be appreiciated. As you know, Madake is hard to come by and I do not want to give up on this bow.
