<p>Hey Greg, appreciate that. I think it must have had its <em>cholent</em> sessions sitting in an apparently sunny spot. It's a good little project, though could use another week in the case, as you say. </p>

<p>What happened to this instrument? Did it get baked? Is it dry as a bone?</p>
<p>Before you do anything I think it needs to spend a week or two with a few humidifiers in the case so you can tell if the top is going to close up. If it is as dry as it looks, I would suspect also back braces are loose at the ends. The body needs to be stable and solid before you start trying to apply force to the neck.</p>

<p>Thanks for the comment. Just looking it over with the quick grip pinching the top, it doesn't look like the crack's halves will meet. I suppose a consequence of the wood shrinking process. </p>

If the open center seam all lines up nicely I would tend to that first.
