Default Wooden Window Sill: Repairing Of ?

Hello:

Have a wooden window sill that has a few inches x a few inches missing
from an outside corner.
Not rotted out, this area is totally gone. Probably rotted first, then
just broke off.

Hate to go to the expense of having a carpenter come in to replace the
whole sill.
Remember a few years back when we had one done, it was quite costly.

Was wondering if theres anything like "plastic wood" that would bond very
well to the raw edge that was created, and that I can perhaps file or
grind to the right shape after it sets up.

It would have to have a "mass" that would cover perhaps 4" x 4" x the
thickness of the sill.
Quite a "chunk," I guess.

Any thoughts on this would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
B.


Believe it or not, Bondo (typically used in auto body repair) is excellent
for this purpose. Follow the directions and apply several thin layers. One
or two thick layers will crack due to the curing process...
