On my current antique refinish project, I have a door made of a solid piece of QSWO. It has glued-on breadboard edges, causing a nasty situation that I would like to fix before calling this one done. The door has split almost all the way across as a result of the cross-grain problem. I'd like to dissemble the door and fix the crack... but I don't know how to get the breadboard edge off without essentially destroying the board. Another issue is that the edge is pulled back from the joint about 1/16" at the top.
I thought of this... use as narrow a blade as I can find and cut through the tenon right at the joint, from the back side. Then, fix the crack and use a long "loose tenon" to put back together, routing each piece to 1/2" short of the ends to hide the work. Need some feedback from anyone with experience in this kind of repair. THANKS!
