Isaac Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Just seeing this now, but I agree, fixing it was the option I personally would have pursued. The argument that once it is stained dark, you won't see the gap as much doesn't really hold up for me. First because you don't really know for sure what light it will be in the future. Say it faces a window and it gets direct low sunlight at morning or night, but more importantly, I think the stain is an argument for repairing it... once you get a sliver of wood in there, as you have done, the stain will make it very hard to detect the repair. If you weren't staining it, the repair might be more apparent, but since it is being stained, I think it will be very hard to detect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 I know where you can find another one (hungover puppy midwife). We have three litters in our house right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't come to a full decision yet but I am thinking one coat of garnet shellac to bring out the grain and then GF High Performance... Or one coat of Arm R Seal instead of the shellac and then the GF High Performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Durability under use. We have the whole family over here once a month for sit down dinners and this will be serving a lot of time as overflow service area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlyoak Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 If you have some art supplies you could faux the 8 grains on that board. Basically extend the grain lines that tiny fraction. Of all places a long time ago I was at the Met in New York. And I spotted an interior door that was fauxed to look like quarter sawn. This is the same place where on display is art work of the masters. Are they all real? or faux. Why not have a real QS door of all places especially the Met! But if it is good enough for the met maybe some faux lines for the grains? But do not ask me how to do it. Once an artful customer added faux lines and it worked... If you do nothing I think that is OK too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
