<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9742801, member: 37"]You are missing several layers there so it will have to be built up a bit. Could even use cardboard for the under-layers if you don't have any suitable wood. For the top layer, if you don't have any suitable mahogany, see if there is someplace underneath where you could "harvest" some veneer. I would remove the rosette before doing anything and trim the edge to a straight line as suggested above. Use a fair amount of glue and clamp securely. Better to have the veneer hang over the edges a bit than be too small. It can always be trimmed with a razor blade and sanded smooth. Once repaired, you will need to try and match the finish and the painted line as best you can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
