[CAUT] Weber grand block

[nmsalmon at gmail.com]

Hello all;
     I'm looking to pick your brains about this unusual Weber grand block I just uncovered.
     The solid wood "base" or lower level is mitred into the case. There is no shelf to accomodate the block. The base does have 1/8" veneer both top and bottom which looks to be maple.
    The laminated top inch was glued to the base with hide glue and snapped off, bringing that top layer of veneer with it.
    The plated rests on the base, so only the laminated bit is fitted to the flange.
    Nothing is doweled or attached in any way to the bellyman rail.
    My inclination is to plug the solid base with whatever pinblock material I use for the laminate and make a new laminate piece. I will of course have to replace that 1/8" veneer so the plate is at the proper height.
    I have cut out mitred blocks before, and I've done 4 piece, bi-level, beveled, blind bolted Chickering blocks; but never the combination. I would prefer not to cut the case to accept a new block. There is however room to build a shelf at the bass end.
    Your thoughts and wisdom please....
    I have enclosed photos.
