Andrew, I had two boards with damage along the long edges. On one I ripped the board back to the holly and replaced the edge with a piece of solid teak using epoxy and dowels. The other I routed out the top 1/2 inch back to the holly and fitted in a new piece of teak. I am going to try to use epoxy to fill in the chips on the ends. Luckily, most are under the ladder or along that edge. A 1/2 strip would not help me. If I could find a 4 inch piece of teak and holly I'd probable piece it together, but I'm not buying a whole sheet just for that! There is a guy on Ebay who sells pieces of teak cheap.
