Fred, Encountered this before. One time plugged everything, drilled & re-pinned Scale of 1-10 a 7 job and a 20 pain Other time routed a full length insert. Much more better. Scale 9 job 5 pain. You may be able to figure out some sort of wooden bushing like a t-pin bushing but that may be more trouble than worth Hope this helps.
