That looks beautiful. How did you go about swapping out the rotten wood?

Thanks.

Well, it’s all held together by screws. I just remove the rotten piece and use that as a template for a new one and then painted it all to match.

You mean to tell me the new pieces are made from scratch? 😳 Good job OP

Well yeah, they’re just planks. Mostly I just cut them to length, but for some I traced the more complex silhouette onto the new piece and then cut it out with a combination of circular and reciprocating saw. Pretty straightforward job, to be honest.
