What would you use to seal this crack in a manzanita walking stick?

Would you just cover the crack with a wrap of leather string instead?
BTW, I tried Elmers white glue (with sawdust) which just shrank.
I tried Durham's Water Putty, but, putty is not a glue, and it just fell
out as the stick flexed over time (it's what my wife uses on hikes).
Note: The business end of the home-made manzanita walking stick worked
out much better than the hand-holding end.

For that tip, I bought a steel sleeve, & a rubber chair leg protector:

The rubber doesn't last long; but the wife likes it (so I keep replacing
it). If there's a better idea than rubber chair leg protectors, let me
know.
