    This is only my personal opinion but I would use epoxy with either a red or black.

    But I also like your thoughts on option A.


    So really I am no help to you by giving you two to think about. I will say this I would NOT allow it to burn.

    I think you have to put it aside and decide later.

    Put it aside and call it 'heatwave'.

    Oldgraybeard,

    I think the shape of the piece and the figure are wonderful. I would take it into the house and let it acclimatize for a month or so to see if it will crack further.

    If it stays together, wrap with packing tape around the fat middle and finish everything you can reach, then put a thin wrap of tape above and below and finish the part between.

    What you have done with the cracks looks fine to me. It is what it is, and I like it very much.
    So much timber, so little time.

    Paul
