Ouch, that damn thing weighs about a 100 pounds. It came with a finish not
worth a cent.
I picked up some 8/4 stock to widen the top and add a tool recess since I'll be
cutting it apart. I'll reglue with waterproof glue or poly.
Thanks

Howdy,
I cannot tell you what is best, but I can tell you what I have done
with a similar maple top:
I ripped the boards through the failed joint, jointed them, and
reglued. The results were good as new (maybe better <g>).
Good luck with it,
