Filling termite-eaten front step

mercredi 1 octobre 2014

Hi folks. Our front doorstep is an old piece of hardwood - possibly jarrah, but not sure. Whatever, difficult to find a replacement these days, I believe, and it looks like a very difficult job replacing it since the current step performs a support function. Would much rather fill the termite damage, if possible.



What do you think is the best way to approach this? I was thinking builders bog initially, then maybe some sort of wood filler to finish off? An old retired carpenter I got talking to a while back said he'd mix wood glue with sawdust and use that, but I haven't come across this idea anywhere else.



Whatever, open to all suggestions. I don't really have any idea whether I'm thinking along the right lines, and re-shaping the corner of the step looks like a challenge. Maybe there's another solution? Would be appreciative of any tips or recommendations.
