Nasty fingerboard extension top crack :: 2007 Pavan TP-30 classical

Here is a brutal fingerboard extension top crack on a classical. I sealed up the sound hole to internally humidify the guitar for a few days to see if the crack will close tight enough to glue. If not, then I'll be fitting a splint along with re-gluing a loose brace and adding reinforcements.
