Definitely worth a  scraping down the back and sinew strip down the crown.

I scraped the outer ring off and luckily the damge is only in the outer ring. The wood underneath is sound, guess I may as well sinew her now I know it is worth it. The outer ring did feel a little suspect when scraping? The ring underneath is hard. I'd be happy to string it up and use that ring as the back BUT it wouldn't have much draw weight :)
Anybody want to trade some sinew? :)
