Is their hope for my white oak stave?

[Red Tailed Hawk]

I was flipping tips with dry heat and you guessed it..... Crack  . I now have to cut the bow down with what will be a 54" ntn white oak stave. I have it shaped with a ridgid handle at this point which can be changed to a bend through style. Any suggestions on design would be appreciated. Limbs are 2" wide and although I have never sinewed a bow before I do have sinew and am thinking it might be my only shot. Looking to get this one drawn to 28". What do you think?

I would leave the handle stiff, sinew, and get what draw you can out of it and call it good.  Might not end up being your bow when you're done.

if they have not cracked all the way through you can repair them with laminates of thin wood. if you go through my threads on here you will find a post about what i did.
