I have a wood chair leg to repair and I wonder if anybody has a better way to fix that kind of problem then what I’m about to do?
The leg is split diagonally and got fix with epoxy a first time. What I did at this time is rake the dry epoxy off from each side of the split with a Dremel sanding disc. Now
I was about to glue back the pieces together and use dowels to reinforce the job.
broken chair leg?

Broken Chair Leg
Is this chair so unusual or old or whatever that you can't make a new leg?
I'm curious why you chose epoxy instead of regular wood glue for this repair, maybe it's irrlevent at this stage.
I think the dowel is crucial this time because the mating surfaces must still have some of the old epoxy which won't help the bonding process.
Good luck!
