Default Repairing split table-top

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.


1 in wide crack? Come on, that can't be right...

If somehow it really is 1 in wide you need to rip & joint into two
pieces and re-glue or put carboard under the crack and fill the crack
with some type of epoxy.

After re-acclimation of course.
