The crack repair commenced by expertly removing any old, oversized cleats.
Step 3:
We meticulously cleaned the crack, ensuring itβs perfectly prepped for the re-joining process.
Step 4
The magic happened as we delicately glued the fractured parts back together, securing them with precision clamping.

The neck was skilfully detached and the ribs meticulously mended.
Step 6
To ensure structural integrity, we added a maple filler to the neck root.
