I did a dumb. Now what?

One of these things is not like the others.

The issue is that it is supposed to be like the others.

Is there a fix for this? Or would the fix take longer than just milling up another board?

The mortise is 5/8" x 2.5" (do you like how I mixed fractions and decimals there?)

Hand chopped so the inside is all jagged.

I'd make a new part that board seems long enough to use on something else in the future. I just put a mortise in the wrong spot this past weekend.... The offending piece is still sitting on my shop floor where i refuse to look at it for having a mortise in the wrong spot.

Dont you just hate it when mortices move after you cut them?
