I have some hickory staves with grooved backs, no problem, it grows that way. This is not cambium and is the true back of the bow.

Sand it smooth and it'll be fine.

Thanx for all the advice guys. As close to the tip as it is, I think I'll sand it and call it good. Like I said, this is my 2nd bow and 1st Hickory so if it doesn't work out, I have learned.
