Repairing Water Damage to a Cabinet

Everyone:

I'm looking for a way to repair some water damage to the bottom of my cabinet.  A small flood a while back has caused the wood at the base to crack and expand.  It's not critical--the structural integrity of the cabinet has been repaired--but it's something that needs to be fixed.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks...

That doesn't seem too bad, but here's the thing, most people use three methods to fix it:

1) saw that piece off and replace it with another piece of wood. It's pretty simple once you cut the damaged part just cut another one the same size glue it, screw it then paint it!! voila.

2) Get some low grit sand paper, about 40 grit, and get your sander, smooth them out and the refill with bondo. Sand it back and paint it!! pretty nice!! This is how I fixed my cab!!

3) Dump the cab get a new one!!

Hope this helps you out!.

The other is just paint over it and put it in a room with shag carpet.  And hope nobody notices...  Thats what I did :)
