So if the back side were fully accessible you'd probably shrink it back into original form as much as possible, but if it's blind backed the lead is a good fix? Just wondering.
Also, thanks for the pictures of the stumps being used. I happen to have a big ol' Hickory down, and just might cut one or two chunks out for beater platforms.
