Hi

I wonder if anyone could help me.

I've just taken our dining table out from the garage where it had been
stored during renovations to the house. To my horror the top of the
table has split down about 1/5 of it's length - the split is about 8
inches long and 1 inch wide at its widest point, with the table top
being about 1 1/4 inches thick. The table top is made of solid oak in
three sections (main central section which is split, with a narrower
piece of wood on each end, tongue and grooved in). The whole top of
the table can be removed because the table is extendable.

I know it was stupid to keep it in the garage but I am gutted because
it is a lovely table (the only bit of furniture I have really saved up
for).

So, any ideas for how I can at least try to sort it out? Is there some
sort of clamp that I could use or is that a waste of time - any ideas
would be appreciated.

Cheers

Ben
