Many thanks Tikilizard, always appreciate your kind remarks.
Thanks Ben, now I know what he looks like. He looks like me yelling
at the TV when my team failed to execute. Or like you said, the
coach giving his team a tongue lashing.
And Amate, with all due respects to Benzart, here is my little
crack repair tutorial.
Number one...find a few pieces of scrap that will fit into the
crack...

Then you whittle away until you have wedges that will fit into the
crack and stick out

Next step is to get all the pieces cut, glue them into the
crack and gently pound in as deep as possible


and finally, I used my hook knife to carve away the excess wood
to match the carving

And there you have it, the whole process took about 40 minutes.
It's actually less putsy than using wood filler and you will get a
much more uniform stain. Thanks for visiting, come again.
