Rumor is that the People of The Great State of Hawaii are not fans of pigs being farmed. They can get loose. Those wild pigs tear up the environment. Rumor is that feral hogs are all descended from domestic farm animals which got loose.
Not a fan.
If they want to eat pork, they should pay the premium for imported bacon and ham from the mainland. It protects the environment.
I don't have to know wood. But I do know that almost everything is MDF particle board. Anything which is actually crafted from real wood will cost a fortune. Anything inexpensive and affordable will not be crafted, or made from real wood. Just common sense that when you buy from Ikea, it's not real wood.

I did something almost exactly like that a couple weeks ago. The doorstop in one of our doors had pulled out, and there was no "meat" to hold a couple of the screws. I just pulled out a handful of toothpicks and some wood glue. Coated and packed them into the hole. Waited an hour, then sawed off the excess. Then the screws went back in, and they're still holding.
I learned that trick from my dad way back in The Dark Days of Disco. Toothpicks & wood glue will even fix screws stripped out of MDF. But the trick to that is to replace the wood screw with a screw specifically designed for MDF. I've found MDF to be incredibly reliable, inexpensive, and perfectly strong when used with the correct fasteners. I didn't even know what a dowel was until I was in my 40's. Tooth picks & wood glue worked, and I never needed to know what a dowel was.

Good afternoon guys, I had to look up what MDF was? Got it, cool stuff. My wife and I just finished washing the truck and camper after being on the road for almost two weeks. Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons! It was a great trip.
