The cracks in the wood have increased in size. This does not bother me, either from an aesthetic or functional point of view. Many antique clubs have cracks as well, and they swing just fine. The wood is not being used in a load bearing application, so the stresses on the wood are minimal, and I don't expect the clubs to fall apart in use. I won't bother filling the cracks when the clubs are complete. The cracks will give them instant cred! Primitive appeal! The only exception to this will be cracks in the handle area, because here the cracks may pinch my skin and make the clubs uncomfortable to hold and swing.
