Are those tiny lateral cracks on the back of the bow any worry.  And why does it happen.  Its on a longbow.

I'm assuming he means length-wise in the direction of the limb tips.  Dean, are they little white lines where it looks like you can see the fibers in the glass, but then you can't catch a fingernail on it?  A picture would help if you can.
