That is a neat way to repair chip out from my router. When using oak, even with the slower router speed and a slow feed I get chip out at times. That will make my repairs easier, I know I will get them.

I like the idea of fuming, it falls under "simple" and the clear spray I have. I seen some posts once about fuming and never really paid any attention to them. This would be something new and worth a shot. I will test and if it looks ok, i'm game. I have mahogony and butternut pieces will this affect them?

My second choice would be the Danish oil. I have some tung oil I purchased about a year ago not opened, what would this do?
Thanks everyone, Between the new build and the finish job, I have my hands full. I want to put this piece to bed and move on. I will post the finished look, I am even excited, to see something different.
Once again I thank you for your replies. Maybe this finishing will be painless,,,not.
Thanks
John
