Beware of the wood split forward, try sounding the area, inside and out with a small hammer or mallet carefully listening for delamination, it will go from thump thump thump ... to thack thack thack in the damaged area. If so, you will have a healthy repair there in that area. Either scarf a new piece in or overlay it after grinding out the damaged, delaminated section. Good luck!
