Pat I will definitely try that, thanks!

Well guy's, the bamboo seams to be drying out pretty good. But I've run into a bit of a snag,  the smaller piece of boo decided it needed to pop open a pretty sizeable crack. I'm not quite sure how to rectify the situation. My first thought was to give it another week or so to make sure it was dry. Then glue and clamp it together with a strap. Then I thought about cutting it down the middle of the crack with my bandsaw. Then sanding the edges square cleaning out the inside and gluing the it back together.
Do any of you all have any ideas? Maybe someone that has worked with boo more than me has had some experience with repairing cracks like this. Ideas!?

Oh man, now that is upsetting. This is why we cant have nice things! Gosh.

Cor real though, if you split it chances are it wont go perfectly back, so you will have to sand it flat and glue the halves together. But, if you do that, may as well glue in a nice walnut accent insert on both sides after splitting it and let the boo turn brown, then dye it red with a matt finish, and a dark leather bottom and strap.

lebhuntfish:
Thanks buddy, I actually thought about the Walnut piece. It's a great idea. If I can't figure out anything else I will do that for sure!

sleek:
I know you thought of it, just reminding you, and its a perfect situation to use the idea....

lebhuntfish:
You may be totally right buddy!
