I made a mohagany table out of plywood and wraped the edges with 3" of solid mohagany like a picture frame. I then added a inlay of 1/4" wenge to cover the glue joint. When I went to sand the top flat I accidentally sanded through the mohagany plywood (hard to believe huh?).
My question is, how would you go about addressing this issue. We are not going to stain it. I thought about coloring in the light colored core that I exposed with map pencils that match the mohagany but I thought the penciled in area might disolve as soon as the finish hit it. Any suggestions?
A suggestion of starting the top over and doing it out of solid wood like a smart woodworker would have done in the first place is not a solution I'm looking for. I have to make this work even if it means leaving the area that I sanded through just as an eye sore.
Thanks
