with wood you can always take more off, but you can't put it
back on.

A carpenter is a whittler who knows when to quit.

a "journeyman" is a guy who knows how to fix his fux ups.

if wood is going near water, it needs several coats of epoxy. read
directions about application and secondary bonding. fiberglass cloth is
imbedded in wet epoxy using paint brush and squeegee. see directions for
weight of cloth and radius of corners glassed over. second and third
coats of epoxy/filler yield smooth surface and built up(squared) corners.
good luck.
