I don't know whether it'll be fine really...I drilled 4 small holes deep in the crack and injected Titebond, and clamped it. Soon will open and see if it worked.

It may have been cracked for a while already...the strings on it pulls the crack shut so I only noticed it when I was spraying on the first layer of base coat filler.Image

Generally a glued bond is stronger than the wood around it. I am sure you'll be OK.

Yeah, seems solid now. Just gave it the first coat of filler spray, then final sand and final filler and tomorrow I can color it - white this time.
