Little Bass ID

[Chris DeMarco]

If I decide to practice some repairs on it, where should I start? I'm thinking either the front or scroll. The front is split in two, the smaller half has a bad F hole crack that is several inches long and the larger half has several smaller cracks towards the bottom. If I start with the front, should I do small cracks first then put the two pieces back together or should it be in all one piece first? Good place to get spare wood for the inside patching? When I get around to the corners, I'll want to know what type of wood the top is made of, any ideas? My guess is pine? As far as the rest of the body, I'll need some veneer for those sides, not sure what that's made of either.

Since it's just a fun project should I just use wood glue or will that just make more of a problem for myself?
