I am certified in acoustic guitar repair under a Luthier.
I would heavily advise against removing the wood.
There is still structural integrity by the machine head at the A string. Removing that structural integrity and replacing it by flying the whole two pieces back together could lead to difficulty keeping tuning down the line.
The only proof of my guitar-specific repair knowledge I can provide quickly is that I am aware of stewmac ๐ ๐ธ
This makes no sense. Removing the piece ensures that one can cover both surfaces of the pieces with wood glue before clamping it back together to cure. The joint between the glued pieces will be stronger than the original solid piece.
