how to repair a crack on a dresser tp (separated at two wooden pieces joine?

the common cause of wood splitting is because it has warmed up by being by a window in the sun or near a radiator.
the best way is NOT to glue and clamp it but to use a wax filling stick the same colour as the unit.
get a small BLUNT filling knife with no sharp edges and scrape some wax onto the knife then heat the wax up with a lighter then press the wax into the split.
let the wax harden of the use a towel to buff of the excess wax.
