Rough that sucker out ASAP! And seal the ends! Probably you could get 2 bows out of that monster.

I'd seal it up good, ...and then ship it to some poor schlub on the eastern half of this continent that has NO CHANCE of ever seeing such a specimen.   :D  That would be the charitable thing to do...

  Why don't you keep half and open up the bidding on the other half!

I've got a few that size. The bigger the harder they are to dry without checking. Sealing to ends it's enough with a stave that size.
Rough the bow out to floor tiller. Then seal the belly with wood glue. Especially close to the handle.
Or!
Let it check and that's you belly side:)

I know it's not politically correct but could we have some measurements.  ;)
