Thanks!

I did notice a crack starting in one of the back slats when finishing. I was thinking about either I laying a piece with grain running perpendicular in the back kind of like a dovetail inlay

Any other tricks or tips to stop this from expanding? 77ad4400fed709f177290397daaa8002.jpgbefd7bbc0dcb79aeeb86236d8593f51d.jpg673b1deb727e48e4f164e6c8bda5af9f.jpg

You might just epoxy it back together. Use a vacuum to pull the epoxy into the crack from the opposite side.

Another option I would consider is to do a contrasting inlay that highlights the repair. Sometimes a non-wood material looks good in that application.

That's a great idea! I've never done the vacuum trick!
