I saw an article recently that suggested that a ding that cuts the grain could be fixed by taking thin shavings of the same wood, and essentially filling the ding with layers of these shavings, glue up the layers, clamp in place then cut flush with a plane.
Has anyone ever done this successfuly?
I have a curved apron with a ding I would like to fix, but I also don't want to highlight it by leaving a big glue spot that will show up prominently once finish is applied.
Anyone have experience with this technique?
