/diy/ - Do It Yourself

This Rimu chair broke from probably 4 decades of use; a dowel broke and the top of this leg has fractured, these are the biggest 3 pieces. Looks like the cut made to chisel out the curve that the cushion fits into was made too deep, and the dowel entering from each side weakened it some more. Is it worth trying to fix this? I already drilled out the broken dowel, but looking at the fractured top doesn't give me a lot of hope. Perhaps it would be a valid idea to remake this part out of some other timber.
