What to do with this crack?

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? 😢

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.
