Wood that split from wood drying out, can’t be glued together – this is the natural shape the wood is taking. Wood that is split along the grain due to damage can be repaired as there is structure for the glue to bond to. The following repairs show how to fix split wood with a break along the grain.

Split Chair Leg – this broken chair leg is split down the length of the leg. A common mistake people make when trying to repair a split like this is dabbing a bit of glue on the joint. The glue needs to be applied to the whole surface area. To do this, open the split wood, squeeze in a generous amount of glue, and rub it back and forth with a cotton string to distribute the glue on every part of the split wood. When the clamp is applied, the glue should squeeze out at the split if you have used the right amount of glue.

Split Wood on Cabinet Door – this door was damaged with a lot of force. The owner tried to repair it, but it came apart again. Watch how to separate the split parts, clean off the old glue, and put it all back together the right way to get the door back in working order

Split Wooden Chair Seat – this old chair seat was repaired a long time ago, but there wasn’t enough glue used to keep it from breaking apart again. The split parts are cleaned up to remove any old glue reside and dirt. Then glue is applied to both sides of the broken parts to ensure there’s enough glue in the joint. Once clamped up, this joint will be stronger than the wood fibres in the seat – it’s not going to break again.
