Again to the experts…is this salvageable? Was thinking of building up wood fillers but…thought I’d ask the experts here. Thanks! -- Learn something new everyday! |

Wouldnt use fillers. I’d cut the mess out and glue in a new piece of wood and shape it. On a lathe preferably. -- Shooting down the walls of heartache. Bang bang. I am. The warrior. |

I would say if it has no personal value (like something passed down), I would junk it and find a replacement. Replacements are plentiful enough. -- Mike |

What Mike said is probably true, but I like to try to save things too. Fridge’s way is probably the easiest and would work, you just need to turn away enough to make a round tenon to glue into the extra piece. That’s a way better option than fillers that won’t match grain etc. The only real other option is to cut the waste off and make a perfect flat then glue on an extra piece and shape that. You’ll see the repair almost no matter what you do, so you’ll have to decide if all the effort is worth it to you. If you just want a learning experience, have at it. |

I have made repair similar to the one pictured. Think in terms of carving instead of turning. Here’s my attempt to describe what I did: 1. Find an area on the knob where you can sand the surface flat (you are doing a small area at a time).
Repeat steps 1-4 all the way around the knob. You can also do a wedge shape piece as well. A chisel/carving knife will help you clean the corners. It may take 3-4 iterations to complete the repair. -- I'll be a woodworker when I grow up. HHHOPKS |
