Repair of Top Wood Frame

Post by BLB27 » Mon Nov 14, 2022 9:24 pm

I am getting closer and closer to installing the top on my 1927 coupe. The wood frame is in good shape, except for the front right corner as shown in the attached photos.

I plan to use the repair materials shown. Before I start, I would appreciate any comments/suggestions that would help in the repair.

One question I have, should I use the Wood Harder or just the Wood Filler?

How others have repair their wood frame would be helpful.

I would not use either. I'd rather cut out the damaged sections splice new timber in and glue and re-finish.
