I have often thought about using epoxy but always feared the scrwws would
not be able to penetrate it after hardening.

I have fallen in love with System Three T-88 structural epoxy. It
sands and drills like hardwood and you can easily drop a screw in it
with a pilot hole. I did a major repair to a pine blanket chest I
built 20 years ago and had epoxy in cracks, filling missing chunks and
all over the area with hinges attached and it went back together like
it was all wood.

I like the color it dries, it looks like pine sap and blends well with
aged pine. I also repaired a badly designed oak side table and it
blended well with the typical red oak orangish brown stain too.

Single blown out screw hole still gets tooth;picks, but maybe all use
epoxy with the picks.
