Tim McTigue Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Great work, Matt, and I bet it mostly disappears under varnish... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kubasa Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Good job! I was curious how this would turn out. This has been a good lesson for me in case I have this happen to me down the road (which I'm sure it will at some point!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, that is what I am hoping too. The color difference may be due to that newly carved piece not having been out in the air and light for so many months as the rest of the back.

That was certainly my impression, but with exposure to light, I think the wood darkens quite quickly. That, plus some colored varnish over it, and unless you point it out, I bet most folks would miss it entirely... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janito Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 If you want to get an idea of what it will look like (more or less), try this... Rub the side of your nose with a finger and rub the 'loaded' finger over the repair... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JPlimpton Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Nice recovery! Once finished, you'll probably have to remind yourself where the patch even is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
