Hi All,

I’m making a box out of sapele and hickory for a Mother’s Day present. It’s a mitered box with splines and when I cut the excess splines with a flush cut saw I must’ve tilted the saw as i cut into the box.

How would you fix this divot prior to applying finish? I’m thinking some dust and glue but I don’t have any sapele dust. I also saw a video a while back where I think someone applied Tung oil or some sort of finish and hand sanded a small Gao and he filled it in.

Let me know if there are any suggestions! I plan on finishing with Waterlox if that makes any difference
