Beginning work to repair one of my nice dining chairs. The top rail split to splinters on one side, and at the joint on the other.

Still haven't decided of I need to recarve a new section, or make repairs to the splintered side.
Which do you think would work best here?

Reparing a classically designed chair.
The top rail split near a joint. The back splat broke loose during the disaster. It looks like it had been minimally glued, but should remain free of attachment due to seasonal expansion and contraction of the wood.
The needlepoint seat covers replicate the patterns of those Martha Washington had in her Mt.Vernon estate.
