Sorry, reading here while at work I mis-read your post. I thought obviously that you said the graft was done correctly rather than the correct repair IS a graft.. My bad. Good.. we are on the same page here.

The ONLY repair I see here that will work IS a graft. Anthing else will fail in time and possibly cause more damage down the road leaving less wood where you need it to do a good graft. Now that it's apart and clean, it needs a graft, period. No way around it that I can see.

By the way, that's Arnold's work above on my former Prescott.
