    Default Help request - repairs to edge damage on Teal table

    I very recently completed bench carcasses for our new Kitchen reno.
    My handbuilt (by me) solid Teal occasional table, now about 45 years old, became the de facto worktop; a case of use what you have.
    Unfortunately one of the malteca faced particle board panels was dropped & the table received some nasty top edge damage.
    Visible in the not very good pics attached.
    Although I built this myself, (epoxy & 8mm dowels) I am frankly at a loss as to how to go about making a "near invisible mend.
    You might note that the upward facing grain is random, the more usual linear "teak deck patterns" are on the other face.
    I intend refinishing all the teak anyway, do this about once every 10 years or so because this table is in daily use & has seen some unusual applications.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    OOPs sorry everyone; for some strange reason the "Manage attachments" button is not working.
    Will follow up asap.

    Many apologies for the delay.
    Apparently my Pop Up Blocker was disabling the Manage Attachments button.
    Solved with the help of the webmaster.

    Pics herewith, hope those interested will be prepared to re-read the OP.
    Thanks etc

    First: if all the timbers there have you tried putting a damp cloth on it and let the timber swell.
    I've done it for small dings.

    Second:you could put a 45 degree bevel all the way round and remove it that way or a round over bit.
    Third : maybe router a 1/4 inch square around the edge and put in a contrasting strip, could do that with option 2 and put in some small strips.
    Forth: get a table cloth that drops over the ends to hide it.

    about all I can think of.
