The "best" repair would be to cut that area out and insert a new piece of wood. Otherwise, an epoxy wood filler might be an option: https://www.lowes.com/pd/J-B-WELD-Wood- ... geEALw_wcB |

I repaired a deep gouge in the leg of a Diamond Disc machine with a shellac stick. Melt the shellac into the gouge, let it set, sand it smooth. They come in a wide range of colors to match your finish. https://www.amazon.com/shellac-sticks/s ... lac+sticks |

A shellac stick (burn-in stick) is a good option for smaller dents or deep scratches. Your gouge looks large in your picture, but may be smaller than it appears. The sticks come in a variety of colors and are not easy to blend to match existing finishes because they have to be blended while hot. A combination of epoxy filler to fill the big area, combined with shellac sticks to fill and finish the remaining voids may be the answer. You will need to purchase an electric burn in tool and shellac sticks to use this method and practice before you start. Good luck - here is a video to get you started. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-d9btPTImI Burn-in sticks and other supplies are available from The Furniture Doctor - Walt the owner, is a great guy and a fellow phonograph collector http://www.furnituredoctor.net 3323 Peach Orchard Rd.
