I have a bunch of cherry cabinet doors and drawer fronts I am getting packed to go to my finishing sub. I noticed one of them has a defect in the plywood center panel where the veneer bookmatch seam is. With dust on the panel, it wasn't noticeable but once I wiped it down you could see it. The plywood appears to have came this way from the factory as the defect is filled with either glue or filler. I don't have enough matching cherry or cherry ply to remake the door. These will be sprayed with a clear solvent based conversion varnish with no stain/dye. From a few feet away (this is a base cabinet) you can't see the defect but I am worried about how it will look over time as the cherry darkens. It will be in a basement so it won't get any sunlight, just the ceiling lights.
Any suggestions on how to make this look better?
