When this happens to an antique it’s rare that people call me before applying gorilla glue and messing it up. This time I got first crack at it and it turned out right



I Had to invent a clamping procedure but it wasn’t that hard



One day later it’s as good as new

Good job but looks like it has had wood borers in it.

Nice repair.
It does look like it has been chewed on.

Yes, it did long ago. I think that’s what weakened the leg. I infused enough epoxy resin to fill many of those holes, turning a weakness into a strength
