Bondo as used in auto body repair works quite well and is commonly
available.


Before you do that- take some yellow pine, weigh it, take a chunk of
bondo and weigh it. Put both in water for a while & see how much more
water the bondo holds than the wood.

Auto-body bondo is not for wood. Bondo *does* make a wood repair
product though. I've never used it- but note that the directions say
"For Rotted Wood Problems, Use After Applying Rotted Wood Stabilizer."
