To add to Joe's good advice, I'd say to insert some screws across the break to add strength. Countersink so the screw head is below the surface. Putty over the screw heads/touchup. If you insert the lag screw and there is dried glue in there, it will tend to split again. Remember there is liability if the leg fails and it tips over. If you leave it in questionable condition, you might find yourself in a bind later. Good luck. Paul McCloud, RPT San Diego
