As always I turn here for top notch advice. I am restoring a 1906 Ithaca Lewis and in the process of refinishing the wood. The only defect is a very slight split/crack in the forend wood as visible by the gold line in the photo. At this point this split is not very deep into the grain. Now what is the fraternities best advice on sealing up this split to keep it stable and not getting progressively deeper?
