Repair per customer's instructions
A 4" section of new kerfing shown in above pic.
Will work my way around, removing what is ruined and beyond patching up.
I know we are trying to stay on a budget here, I am trying to do only what needs to be done, what is prudent.
My goal is a players instrument, that is stable for years to come.
