Seal with some teak oil and it's done...
Might crack/check...only been off the tree a month. Hopefully the teak oil will slow the drying...plus it is a small piece.

Update...
That little crack did expand as it dried...but the important parts stayed together...
...and I did get around to darning all the holey socks...
I didn't say I did it well...but it'll get the job done.

One of those "you get what you pay for" kinda things.
One pair of those is a little more than what I pay for six pair.
