Do you have a close up of this Cuban? I like to see the grain structure.

I can not tell in the picture but if it is not kinked and cracked all the way through then some time you can flood the area with ca, maybe clamped such that the fibers are down and then sand out the lifted\broken fibers. Sometimes not.

Araid i think it's beyond that, especially as the first cracked on the upper bout AND the waist. Got some veneer softener on the way from a guy on the OLF so will use that next time. Not been able to find sides that match the back to my satisfaction yet.

I have some "Super Soft" but never really tried it on Mahogany, good idea.
