Tough break Allen, I haven't bent mine yet. So, my heart goes out to you in this. If your'e going to swap ends, that means taking apart all your glued up joints, (that sounds horrible). The repair should be stronger than the original wood. I would probably just try and repair the break, and then bend it slowly over several days. What kind of plane is this on? Russ
