If you want to be certain, have a look under the toeguard. Seems like its following the grain (not saying thats bad or good) is it all the way through?

"Clamp and glue" would not help you here. It looks really minor from what youve shown

Agree with @SteffanLangholz, you will need to look under the toe gaurd.

Could be a surface crack or deeper which you could dowell.

If the crack doesn't go all the way through to the back leave it.

I had a Similar crack on my Bb


And what I did is not for everyone and is probably wrong but.


I jammed a knife in there too see how far it would open up. It opened enough for it to need glue.

So glued in, clamp. When dried. 10mins with a mallet to see how it reacted and then tape.
