There's often enough salvageable wood in the base of the tote in front of
the rod to repair the tip off a horn. Done it many times, and while it's
never a perfect match it is better than using some other species of timber.

To short circuit the usual 'duck and run' suspects, OBVIOUSLY this can't be
achieved in the same tote.
