CA to the rescue - the separated pieces of the rims fit together quite nicely, and glued up with CA with only a little bit of splinter-gap at the impact point near the treble-side of the tailblock.
No pics for this, but the spliter gaps were filled with epoxy, and walnut side braces were epoxied to the inside of the rims.
A few days ago I reattached the top after re-sanding the rims in the radius dish - the tear-out of the spruce at the neck and tail blocks were patched up with epoxy and sanded flush with the rest of the top, and the cracks in the tail-end of the top were fixed with watered-down Titebond and a few cleats. I also took some time to scallop and thin the braces, as it was originally way over-braced. The upper ends of the X are let into the linings, while the lower ends of the X, and the finger and tone bars, are feathered down to nearly nothing at the rims.
Yesterday, I re-did the ebony-maple-ebony purflings and walnut binding strips, a little wider and deeper than originally to take up the slack from removing the top. Stuck on with CA and taped - clean-up today.
