Hi Folks,
I'm relatively new to woodwork and haven't done much repair work.
I've been asked to try and fix an antique chair with a broken back. The back of the chair attaches to the rest via two dovetails - the side has split off one of these. Unfortunately the piece that split off has gone missing. The job is for a family member and they said fix it as best you can. I was thinking that there are two ways to approach this:
1. Glue the back on, and fill the missing part, then sand, etc.
2. Carefully pare out a rectangular section of the wood and then glue a new block of wood in and then fill, etc.
I'm interested in what more experienced woodworkers would suggest for this.
Cheers,
Chris
