I have replaced blocks before, but this one appears to have been installed using a slightly different technique. While being doweled and glued to the inner rim shelf, there is also a mortise or rabbet under the stretcher that the pin block material is let into. The veneer on the front of the stretcher at each end, leads me to suspect that the block / stretcher were originally installed as a unit. Not really wanting to remove the stretcher, I’m wondering if I could simply cut the block out in the normal fashion (router and big bit), leaving the part of the old block that is under the stretcher intact and gluing the new block to that. This is complicated by the presence of a large cove cut in the bottom of the block / stretcher for fallboard clearance.  I’m hoping that some one has done this before, and can offer a procedure that has worked in the past.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Thanks for any help at all,<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Owen (<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Kingston</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">Ontario</st1:State>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Canada</st1:country-region></st1:place>)<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
