When you buy a house and the owner before last leaves you an ASHpan that you can also use to pick up 'doggy-dooz' you have something of real value. When the dog chews the handle it is really, really annoying until there's this apple tree branch that's much better than a 'bought-one' IF you can find one– and better than the one that the dog chewed.
At this point a repair can become a real treasure. The aesthetic at wortk is known INhouse as RSB (Robust Strong & Beautiful) AKA 'rip-shit-and-bust'
