How would you repair this....
Comments (3)Do you mean the wood has broken? or that a glued joint has become un glued? If the wood has broken it will take a very expert repair...scarf joint and the whole 9 yards....but if it's just a glued joint the repair will be easier.

Comments (1)It looks like the stucco is coming off the brick. I would use a putty knife or chisel and try to remove the rest of it and then see what kind of shape the brick is in....See Morebkay2000
