So I have one that I cut a little too thin & a little too tall and it's waving in the wind. It's a coconut palm.

My plan is to sever it at the thin section, and with a 1 1/2 inch forstner bit drill about a foot into each and insert some sort off thick dowell or some kind of rod in there, fill it with some kind of bonding agent, and put humpty dumpty back toether again...

So the question is...what should I use?

Silicone?
Wood filler?
epoxy?
whale sperm?

any ideas? anyone already done it?
