Here's some shots of a busted banjo headstock I put back together recently.
With the strings and tuners removed I put the pieces back together and with a little tap on the tip of the headstock everything lined up pretty good.
I glued it up with HHG. I used a 1/2" acrylic caul on the face and a cork padded caul on the back to get some pressure at the end of the break where the headstock began to transition into the neck. I don't have a pics of the glue-up but here it is after the clamps came off and the excess glue was cleaned up.
Re-gluing the inlays.
And after some stick shellac fills and a bit of French polish touch up she's back in service.
