I would heat treat it and add some reflex, but set won't be undone; you can only hide it and hope to avoid more of it. The cells that are crushed are crushed, but strengthening the remaining cells and adding reflex might reduce string follow.

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

Heat treated it, retiller corrections and shooted it several times !!!
I really like it.
I have to experiment a little with arrow spine to find the best combination but it's allready fast, accurate and silent.
At least for my standards  :D
I had tons of ideas for decorations, tips overlay and such but I think I'll leave it as is.
Simple and plain wood with some rope attached to.
Ahh..... life is good  ;)

Your trials/tribulations with this stave and the helpful advice offered to solve same have made this a good read.
And congrats on final result!
