<p>[QUOTE="Barbara Kohler, post: 546952, member: 10215"]Agreed, but what other choices do I have but to leave a gaping hole or try to find the needle in a haystack piece of similarly grained wood. My plan would be to use the existing back to create the part of the drawer face that is inside the lighter wood inlay, then glue a thin strip of blonde wood along all four edges to simulate the marquetry. Once this is in place, I can use some similar wood to glue to the tops and sides of the drawer front which will then bring it to the correct size. Add some cockbeading and I think I will have a very suitable substitute for the real thing, as long as it is only for display in my home.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
