Glued it up last night. After the glue stiffened up I took off the clamps to clean up the extra glue. All right, so I went to bed. Overnight without the clamps, a gap opened up. Choice words were spoken.
Currently deliberating. I don’t have enough clean wood to redo both scales as is. Plan a I think it’s going to be some heat and try to get that one scale off so that I can re-glue it. Plan B, tear the whole thing apart and rebuild the scales with a spacer behind them. I don’t have the width of material to replace it as it is without some kind of spacer.
