I want to repair it

The Lady admitted that she was -- unusually -- in the mood for a steak.  So the family spontaneously went out to a restaurant:  the first time in months, and the first time in years that wasn't Chinese food, Indian food, or a buffet style.

The benches and tables were "rustic" style:  wooden slabs.  Ours had a chunk taken out of the surface (see between my fingertips, in the photo) -- and it appears that our "slab" table top is actually covered in a veneer.

Someone had tried to putty the hole up -- but it didn't work.

I actually know how to repair these things properly.  But:  not my table.


It was very unsatisfying to not be able to repair the hole.
