SWMBO has a favorite rocking chair. I have recently replaced the
rockers for her and I am still her favorite woodworker. We have now
noticed that the seat is starting to split. It looks like it along a
glue joint going from front to back. The splitting is wider at the
rear of the seat and narrower towards the front. At present it is only
about 6" long. The split is similar on the top and bottom of the seat.
At its widest is about 1/8". I believe the seat is pine.
What are your suggestions as to how I can stop the split from
continuing and rejoin it where is already apart?
Thanks for all your help.
