Yeah, I think you did a pretty good job, too! Could you show us how you did the repair, Jonathan?

Imagei made one of these to push it up from the inside. Then used clamps I had laying around to push from the inside to get them flush. Then CA glue. Razor scraped the excess off and finished with an orbital.
Didn't think I was gonna be able to save it but once I pryde the overlapping cracks back together, I knew I was in business lol

Now I still have to get the first brace out and shape a new one. Who knows how to get a brace out? Lol

Well done!!! Is that SE Asian rosewood?

I ask because it reminds me of the time I had a classical crack similar to that for no good reason, other than it was SE Asian Rosewood.
The bad part was after I had fixed the cracks I hung the guitar awaiting refinishing. Forgot to put the holding clip on the hanger, dropped something on the floor and raised up into the guitar. It came off the hook, hit the floor and broke into many many pieces.

Looks good. I do hope you cleated all those cracks inside. Otherwise, they'll be back...
