Looks darn good. I built wood bows for years before I had one that nice.

That crack doesn't show any signs of heading for the edge of your bow, meaning it won't cause a problem.  You could fill it with some very thin super glue, but you should be just fine.  

VERY nice bow, by the way.  I'm with Pat.  It took me a lot time to get something that like that out of a stave.

It doesn't look like it bends there at all so I wouldn't worry about it.  You might mark the end of it with a pencil and then soot the bow a bunch and see if it has moved.  I don't suspect it will since it looks like it stopped in the ring above where your bow starts to work.  Good job.

This bow is a little heavy so I shortened it and retillered it, so now it is 62" ntn, 61#@28" the tips are 1/2" wide. Hopefully I didn't take too much off

Shoots pretty good, I'm still learning where to put the arrow for the sweet spot.  Yeah that crack has been there and hasn't grown any.  jeff
