I have a door jamb that is split where the bottom hinge was screwed into the jamb. My initial thought was to trace an outline of a piece of replacement wood over the cracked portion, cut it out, and then slide in the replacement piece.
However, for strength, I'd want to glue it and I'm thinking that sliding it in would scrape off the glue. Undersizing it would make the joint weak. There probably isn't room on the backside of the jamb for a sister board.
There's probably a simple solution...hints?
Thanks
