You can split a stave, chase a ring, then seal the back and ends and take it inside. set it on a shelf or window sill above a baseboard heater or furnace vent for a month or two, and she'll be good to go. I did that with my osage I cut a few years ago now, and got a really nice bow out of it. Still shooting her too. Just make sure you seal the ends and back before "quick drying" it.
