It's poorly inletted and very proud to the wood as you can see. My question is, how does one fix this issue? Also, do you think there would be any issues or problems if I let it alone? The tip is solid, no movement or looseness. Thanks as always! Greg url=https://postimg.cc/PN7fR5dL][/url] Gregory J. Westberg MSG, USA Ret

It may have been exacerbated by other things, but I agree with Mike. I believe that it would be throwing good money after bad to try to correct it. May God bless America and those who defend her.

The fix would be cutting away the rot and fill with fresh wood or epoxy putty then re inlet and touch up finish.
