Keep chaseing until you start running out of sap wood. If the checksare still there, keep them close to the handle and make a static grip if possible. Id not consider an English style longbow. You might consider a backing and not chance it unbacked. Or that is what id do. I dont do many selfbows so my experience is limited.
I decided I will back it with rawhide. Thanks. I was able to get out the checks.
