I would remove that with an oscillating saw (fein etc.) or a normal saw even and then plane it flat. The closer you get to flat the less planing but if your plane is sharp and you know what you're doing it would be pretty easy.
My only concern would be what happens under the existing cill, how well it is sealed to the original and can you create a neat waterproof join there.

what happens under the existing cill,
Good point. Thanks.
What type of plane would be best?
Also is an oscillating saw the same as a multitool? I've always wanted a multitool and could possibly use this as the excuse. Annoyingly the bare Makita one is on sale at SF and I have Dewalt batteries. The Dewalt is x2 the price.

this.
you can even get at most of it with a good chisel and a hammer as long as you mind the grain and take care to not let the grain bite and crack too deeply. finish with a plane.

Curious to hear ideas for this windowsill.
It's on our outhouse in an area we're tidying up. The previous owners obviously scored a double glazed unit and installed with the wooden sill. I've discovered the brick sill below is the original and would have matched with the house.
I started to paint the sill and frame white (as I was using it elsewhere), and it's occurred to me that part of what makes it look so shit is that the green paint makes it look like spare paint was being used. Going to do the surround in black.
Uninstall/reinstalling is not an option. My two thoughts are:
Any bright ideas?
