Lance,

	I'm referring to the crack on the board that runs between the ribs.
I haven't seen Bill's method, but I'd l	ike to hear more about it. I
assume that one uses the router bit to enlarge the crack and then
shim with wooden wedges. I'm also looking for ways to fill small
soundboard cracks without enlarging them.

Thanks for the reply,
