I need some help on how to deal with this crack on the end of a board that has already been glued up.
I noticed the end cracks well before the glue-up, but thought they were only a little shallow and so ignored them. But earlier today I noticed that the one closest to the outside is also cracked on each side of the face. The cracks on the face go down about 5/8" from what is the top in the picture. If I put pressure on the outside of the piece I'm almost certain I can break it off by hand. The crack on the left doesn't appear to be cracked through to the face, plus I'm not worried about that one given its placement.
So what should I do here? Should I break it off and attempt to re-glue? Should I cut it off more towards the left and glue on a new piece sized to fit? I'm not worried about the grain not matching. I don't have a syringe for gluing so I think that option is out of the picture.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
