A friend has a wooden post in her front yard with a light attached. There are 2 spots the size of golf balls that, I guess, rotted out and were filled with what looks like wood putty. She would like them repaired. At first I thought of using Bondo, but then I figured the "plug" would just fall out like the wood putty did. At this point, I'm thinking that the way to go is to turn the hole into a mortise and fill it with another piece of wood, dutchman style.
Does anyone have any better ideas?
Thanks,
