[QUOTE="Roaring20s, post: 10049774, member: 17270"]Try a metal spatula, carving knives, gently work into the opening, now do the same to the opposite side, work your way around in this manner. As it opens use two tools to open it a bit more, and so on, prying slightly as you go. Do not add any type of lubricant. It will swell the wood. After it's open get some sand paper adjust the fit.[/QUOTE]
