One of my bookshelves was damaged in a recent move. Pictures he

The other three corners of the base have a small plastic foot nailed in.
How would you repair this corner to keep it from deteriorating further and
enable it to take a foot?

Epoxy and a thickener. Sawdust will do, To keep the repaired edge flush
with the non-repaired one, put clear packaging tape on one sidr of a batten
like a paint stir stick and tack that along the good edge. Once the epoxy
cures, take off the stick, the epoxy won't stick well to thre tape.
