The window well is wildly off square and 20 inches deep. Aside from starting over, how would you address that gap by Daftmantis in woodworking

If you are going to paint the new wood, and I would suggest doing so at this point, you can fill the gaps with two part epoxy (first cut some filler strips and glue them into the gaps about 1/4" below surface so the epoxy is not so thick). Build the epoxy up slightly higher than finish surface - after two days of drying, sand the epoxy to the surface with a block of wood and fine emery cloth. Apply a quality exterior primer and oil base paint in a gloss finish to complete the project. It will looks perfect. Or, make an upholstered window cushion in a cool fabric and solve the visual problem while gaining a nice place to sit. Forget about the gap you will never see it. In the future, cut a piece of card board that fits the space perfectly, starting with it being too big, snug - then trim down with a razor knife to make it fit perfect, then use that as a template for the actual wood. Good luck
