filling a very narrow crack

Hi all,

I'm making a small table top for my camper van. I bought a single piece of Cherry 25 x 29 x 5/4 (!), and noticed that it had a crack down the length of it when I got it home. The crack went all the way through it, and it took very little force to open it completely. I used Titebond II glue on both surfaces, and clamped it together. Later I whittled it down to 19 x 26 x 3/4 (track saw, then router sled), and then sanded it to P240. But I can still find and feel the crack on both faces with my fingernail, although it is very narrow, perhaps 0.010" or less. What can I use to fill/seal this?

TIA, Dick
 
The glue is harder than the wood. Try a glue scraper on the line, resand.

WOW, never occurred to me that it might be positive material rather than a crack! It was, and a scraper made quick work of it.

Thanks a bunch, Dick
