This should be a fairly easy DIY. Get some wood glue and proper clamps. Both should be readily available at Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Rona, Princess Auto etc...

I think my bar clamps are loong enough to apply pressure to the joint after its glued.
You can stop by my job site today or tomorrow and I can take a look for you. You'd have to leave it for 24 hours, so its up to you if 2 trips to New West are worthwhile.

honestly though, it may be easier to do a trip to ctc. You don't need a c-clamp, you need a bar clamp, preferably with rubber ends so you don't mar the surrounding wood. Jam a shitload of glue in the crack and add pressure. Wipe off the excess glue and call it a day. If the joint isn't under a lot of pressure, it will hold.

From where the crack is you could probably use a ratchet tie down if you don't have a bar clamp available. Just make sure to put a cloth between the ratchet and the wood.

Should fix ASAP in case (no pun intended) the wood warps on you over time. I doubt it wood, but hey, you never know. BTW, purple heart and other exotic wood at Windsor Plywood. I should make some custom cases and make money on the side.
