This poor creature, which belonged to a lady's late grandmother, jumped from the back of a pickup. It suffered broken bones, scraps and even had a part missing from the ordeal.I took my shot, and I think it's ready to get back home.I think the part I'm most tickled with is, the chip repair on the face. That I was able to pull it off is thanks to, in part, flooring an neighbor was tossing during a move.Though it doesn't show, if I wanted to “more invisible” the chip, I should have taken it down to the router line.I cleaned the chip out, shaping it to a V. Before I did, I confess to, foolishly, thinking a butt joint would work. IO was well into an epoxy glue up when I screamed [to myself] “hell no,” and pulled it, then came back and V'd the cut.The grain isn't real, at the top of the V. It's Exacto work, which the stain turned into grain.
