Forgot to mention Bill, these pieces don’t have any laminations, they are solid pieces finger or lap jointed. There are a couple spots where there is a tongue in groove joint to add width locally.

I have been using Smiths epoxy rotten wood replacement resin in places where the rot is localized. The stuff is a bit challenging as it takes a week to cure and is so thin that it just drains through any leak path, so I have to be ready with drop cloths to catch leaks that can end up coming out a foot or more from where it is applied, even after sealng the area as best as I can.
