I'm not sure if you can see but there are two cracks close to the edge running with the grain. One is just under a 1/4" in and the other about 3/32". I'm already down to about 1/2" thick, so I'm pretty sure they won't disappear with tillering, especially since they're just up from the fade. If they were in the middle, I'd either super glue them or just ignore them, but being on the edge, the have me worried. If I narrow the bow till they're gone, I'll be left with about an inch of width. I'd rather not do that for reasons of stability, but I will if I have to. I'd appreciate any advice any of you can give. Thanks in advance.

Usually cracks on the belly that don't run off the edge are ok.
If you can't take them off then you have to live with it.

Use a clamp and see if the splits clamp down with moderate pressure. If they do then use some thick crazy glue and clamp them tight, or as tight as you can get them. If they don't then still use the glue but there won't be any advantage to clamping.
