If a 6 foot table is splitting in half, what is a bowtie that's only half an inch thick in the middle gonna do? I would just cut the cracked section out and add a middle section back in

That's the first thing that crossed my mind. A couple pipe clamps and some glue is all you need. Then fill it in. The color matching does look good though.
I suspect CA glue, while being very expedient, does not have the flexibility needed to bond wood. It get very hard, therefore very brittle, it will fail as assuredly as those honey consistency polyurethane glues. I used that on some furniture repair before I understood the properties of the stuff. Every joint failed in two years. Took every joint apart, cleaned that crap off, used a type II modern wood glue, probably Titebond, that was ten years ago, still stable and holding. I applaud your color matching skills, the finished product looks good. I think you'll be redoing it in a couple of years.
I don't think I've ever seen a better example of "its all in the finish" in my life. I think the repair job was a bad one, first using a bowtie that does nothing in this case because it's so thin & badly placed, & then wedging the Crack apart even further. It's basically being held by sawdust & superglue. Great finish though...
Yeah.. I'm by no means any kind of an expert on furniture repairs, but I caught myself going "wait, what??" I was half expecting some form of epoxy pour into the crack, but the way those pieces were wedged in.. oh man!
My grandfather showed me how to fix tablets that crack. Bow ties work for this type of fix. Bye not clamping the wood you're not putting pressure on the stressed area that caused the problem in the first place. But the proper way is to cut out a board with with the crack in the center of the board. Glue in a new board clamp and refinish. Fixed many since the 70s. And the only tables that haven't came back too haunt me years later we the tables i cut out the crack and effected area . In a nut shell you have to remove the stress that caused the crack . Or it will come back in years or decades.
You NEED to clamp the split in the table together before applying the bow tie connection. It would save a lot of time and maintain the original look of the table without all that extra work. Glue, clamp, level out both sides, bow tie, saw dust fill in, sand, stain, and seal. Done. All the extra work is unnecessary.
My rocking chair sits on the back deck during the day. I bring it in when bad weather approaches. Will the hot sun losen the glue joint? Should epoxy be used instead of white or Titebond type glue? Adding a butterfly wedge and spline is what I plan to do as you did. I'll put added coats of Polyurethane as added protection. Thanks for the post.
I would have simply cut that end off, cut the other end off, squared both the cut ends and the center section of the table, added hinges and sliding slats to create a table with folding leaves.
The only thing you managed to do here is add even more stress to the crack by adding more wood. Not only is this table not in square anymore, but it can split apart at any time.
I would not have repaired the table like that. I would remove the top from the frame. Then use a wire brush to clean out the debris in the gap. I would test clamp it together and clean out until I could close the gap completely. I would then flood the gap with glue and clamp together. I would add small reinforcements across the gap underneath using glue and screws. Sand the top and using the sawdust make a filler with glue to close any gaps.

This is what is called a quick and dirty repair job. The part is missing where a tin of acetone is then emptied over the "repaired" piece of furniture and set alight. What's with the piece of white plastic? Was there no appropriate wood for the job?
A flawed repair which will eventually fail. The crack in the wood was due to the drying of the wood over time placing stresses on the wood. And sure the bowtie at the end will hold that tight. But the point of the crack, the end within the table was merely concealed. The stresses on that crack at that point remain. And sure it's covered over but the wood will start to give and continue to tear down the length of the table from that point to the other side over time. A hole should have been drilled at the end of the crack to remove that potential point, to stop the tear / crack from proceeding further. And while they did a good job in the camera, I could still see the repair (despite how well they did covering it) on the surface. A sanding over the entire surface and restore of a frech coloring and coating would do a far better job and produce a better more even surface.
The gent needs to lay off the caffeine ☕. I use to do desk repair but never to that extreme. Most of ours was large nicks or scratches. Swell the fiber and sand down. Finish accordingly. He had his work cut out for him. Finished nice 👍
Правильный вопрос! это рекламный ролик всех этих эпоксидных смол и замазок, а стола, как такового, и вовсе то нет - просто используют что есть; мало того, и сами предварительно раскалывают это деревянное полотно!
