Wooden Tow Bar

minor traveler with the wood at the back which is structural,pre proscribed areas I failed one on the above mentioned wet rot,mushrooms and assorted fungus as well.when the owner got stroppy I pointed out the spring and floor coming thru below it all,objections over!some 1930s piece of sh1te had some form of exotic infestation/woodworm that had turned the middle of the o/s chassis rail to dust.came back a couple of weeks later with a big bit of timber spliced in/braced with bolts/plates etc,i aint a chippy,that looks like a repair,pass and advise.according to my little bruv(a former antique furniture restorer)this is a problem encountered with wood that's typically lived in the tropics or somewhere exotic and is normally encountered with stuff in museums and in extreme cases can lead to the timber component concerned facing the Chippendale equivelant of quarantine.
