My grandmother recently passed I found this wooden cobra broken when we were moving her out of her apartment. I remember it from when I was a kid and would love to give it some TLC, looks like it had broken previously and she tried fixing it with wood glue without much luck… any pointers on how I could fix this thing up? I don’t think those nails will ever go back into the original holes due to being bent. Do I pull the nails and retry glue? Is there wood putty to help? Pretty amateur here when it comes to wood working but I’m handy enough when it comes to tools
