I had this knot in the fades right above the handle.
I started digging at it, and it was a full fledged hole now. Not sure what I am going to do about this. Maybe fill with superglue and sawdust.
Dont use super glue. it wont work. A good gap filling epoxy will do the trick. Urac 185, Smooth on 40, Bow grip, some two ton epoxy,etc. etc.
Since this is a self bow, and i see violated grain, I can only assume this would be the belly? I would not worry about it until you do some tillering. You might not need to fill much. But if you are close to having it floor tillered, you might fill it and just reduce it down with the belly.
