Default How to unglue something without wrecking the wood

This post is sort of related to the one about carpenters glue solvent. I
made a mistake gluing two pieces of cherry with yellow glue. My first
instinct is to use water to soften the glue but I wonder if I will wreck the
wood doing that.

What is your advice?

TIA.

Which brand/formulation? Titebond I will loosen with heat. And vinegar
will loosen it as well.

But not Titebond II.

Not sure about other kinds of PVA glue. If they are general purpose,
heat or vinegar should do the trick.
