Carved top starting to split apart, please help me save it!

[Manisk]

Thanks for the points Simon, yeah i am aware of my mistake by orientating the grain absolutely wrong, it taught me a lesson tho, i am not in any way used to working with wood, but i really enjoy it compared to working with steel, might switch profession, but you gotta admit it was difficult not to place the ash in the orientation i did, the grain really looked great that way

yes the fretboard is dry and my plan was to start soaking it with boiled linseed oil also, but you mentioned lemon and mineral oil, should i refrain from using linseed on the fretboard and opt for lemon or mineral oil?

And you would personally prefer a solution in which i dont accentuate the split in order to add bowties? i was thinking filling it with a dark filler and figure out a suture that is pleasing to the eye

Furthermore if i were to add some kind of bowtie i could make the routed hole very deep almost breaking through the mahogany, that ought to add some stability more than just filling the crack

I thought about hiding it but i think that my mistake really should be highlighted and have the solution visibly displayed on the instrument itself, thats why i am so stubborn about bow-ties
