Place a section of bracing internally at the hole location and then make a filler piece to smooth the hole out, all the rest of the cost is in regards to cosmetics.

I think you are correct - its just that there is also a whopping great hole where the endpin should be too! I think I've got that covered, at least.

When you say place a section of bracing, do you mean just glue in a small piece of wood behind the hole?

Correct on both accounts! Your suggestion makes sense I'll give that a go.

Thanks all.
