Correct about the splice. A pure endgrain to endgrain joint is pretty
useless. If you are going to use a plug, the endgrain to endgrain
portion splice WILL create a poor glued joint, and the gradual change
to facegrain to facegrain will improve the joint. However, because

That's true...the problem is the plug will result in end grain to end
grain...which is not good joinery. Basic rule of thumb...if the structure
was ok with the hole it will be ok with the plug or an open hole. If you
need to restore strength because the hole was drilled wrong then you need
to do
The structure of wood is heterogeonous, and complex. Reestablishing a load-path
through disrupted wood structure possible- it is called joining- and is the
basis of the KR structure. Any of the proven glues will work, as will any
filler material with traits similar to the structure being repaire

Not a problem at all. 1/4 and 1/8" dowels are readily available though not
always of the wood you might desire. Birch, maple and poplar dowels are what
you usually find at lumber yards
Should work OK. You can also mix up a slurry of wood chips and T-88 or use
bondoglass.

Is it acceptable to fill holes in wood structures by driving woode
There's no problem with it. Like with metal, just assume that the plug
doesn't restore any strength.

Is it acceptable to fill holes in wood structures by driving wooden dowels
of equal wood strength into the holes "greased" with T-88 epoxy? Any
problems with this? I'm talking about drill holes, 1/4" or smaller.
