@markbailey @bpower Thank you! No need to panic then, since it is easy to press it flat. We have experienced cold and dry weather in Sweden for a few weeks, but the temperature may have fluctuated a b...

Sardines anyone?

That was really nice, I enjoyed this very much!

A straight longitudinal crack in a dark, stripy wood is going to be VERY difficult to spot afterwards if you follow the advice already given, and it will have very little, if any, effect on the overal...

@tv101 Are you still doing the jit.si virtual pub tonight

I see two options. Cut a filler strip from the end of the fretboard that's the right width to fit the slot, (it'll be fragile as heck) and glue it in. Cut the fingerboard all the way through the mispl...
