Re: Top Crack Weymann Keystone Bowlback, How to draw together
If you can’t get it to close with humidity or clamps, it probably isn’t going to close, short of removing the entire top, taking off the braving, glueing and clamping, then re-attaching the bracing. The much simpler way would be to fill it with a splint. Find a similar piece of wood, cut an appropriately sized shaving with a plane, and glue that into the crack ice and tight. Let glue cure, then carefully cut it down flush, or nearly so, finishing up with sandpaper. Touch up finish to match and you’re done.
