How does one fill a large void in a window sill?
In article ,
says...
I'd appreciate any ideas on how to solve this problem. I'd also appreciate
responses from people who have used a lot of wood putty (or bondo or
whatever) to fill a large void like what I have and how it worked out.
Thanks!

Partly a question of personal taste. Some might suggest attaching a 1/4 round
or concave moulding over the top, that certainly works.
I personally would varnish/paint the window down into the gap (to seal the wood
against any creeping moisture) and then put a thick bead of (tinted?) silicone
into the gap and shape it concave making sure it bonds to both sides.
Silicone should accomodate temperature-related movement of window and sill
without cracking. Could even put enamel paint over the top of most products
after the job's cured.
