This crack goes through the board. This is the better of the two sides. I used cut list to make sure I wasted as little wood as possible. I still cut everything a little oversize just to make sure I didnt cut anything to small. After I got it all planed I made my final cuts. Anyhow where this thing was on the board I couldnt really get around it without wasting a decent amount of wood. I decided to put it on display. Its going to be a stile on the side of the desk.
Those are all the stiles and panels for the outboard sides. I will be using 4 inch rails on top and bottom. I dont know why these pics are turning out so crappy. Guess I need to set my white balance instead of leaving it on auto??? What you see in the pic is almost $100 worth of wood...Thats why I didnt want to make any mistakes....Im not as paranoid when I use a little cheaper wood. One of the boards was QS too. I probably should have tried to cut my panels out of that one.
I still have alot of the 5/4 QS board left and I am going to put resaw it for flat panels on the insides and make drawer fronts also.
Anyhow I will post more of those pics in finished projects once I get a little further.
Does anyone think this crack will turn into a problem down the road?
I put super glue in it in the back. Should I have cleaned it out or anything?
I just squirted a bead along the whole crack.

) has the wood type hard to identify. Is it Walnut, mahongany, or oak? I would go buy some epoxy (5 minute cure would be fine) if i was you. It will be a great filler and its adhisive strength is without equal IMHO. IMHO super glue works best when you have contact not a gap, just opinion and no expierence using it so perhaps Mildoc is right that it will work. It has for him so it is worth considering. That said for the visible face, epoxy will fill the defect and will appear to be part of the wood.
