Look again closely at the picture - you can see that the routing only went a bit more than half way through the rail. The maple insert strips are just a half-inch thick - just the thickness that the rail pin bases are long.

In that case, why didn't you just make a complete new rail? It seems to me,
it would have been easier than splicing in two new pieces. Or am I mis-
interpreting what I see.
IMHO, a new rail would have been much more difficult to make. The way I did it, I had the pin locations fairly well nailed down, and routing and cutting two little strips of maple went fairly quickly.

The new pieces seem to be the full depth of the rail, not a routed out section?
Or did you just leave a minimal amount, that can't be seen?
The end result, obviously justifies the means.
