Take the tour ×  I removed the paint from this wood, the top
ring of a raised garden. While scraping I got to a soft part and
easily removed this rotten wood, creating the hole in the
pictures: it is 2x2x5"  Should I fill it completely with one of
those things they sell to fill wood holes? is it too big for
that? should I just fill it or first use the liquids to "harden"
the wood? should I just spray it with something and keep it as
is (it is kinda artistic, so I may go with that option, as long
as it will not cause it to become worse faster).  if filling it,
is it better to fill it with actual wood first and the rest with
the filler (instead of wasting tons of filler?)  Lastly, will I
be able to stain the wood, or since it will be a mix of wood and
whatever filler I use, stain will not look good and I need to
paint?  should I just remove the 4 woods (all 4 sides) and
install new ones (all 4 so they look the same, not 3 old and one
new).  closeup full  share|improve this question add comment  2
