finish repairs

I had to repair a dent in the treble cheek of one of these. I used thin CA
glue, building it up and sanding it down until level, then polished it to
high gloss to match. I got the stain to match by transfering the stain from
touch up pens to the sight with a fine artist's brush. It may sound slow and
awkward but it goes quite fast. The layers and "stain " are very thin and
dry rapidly. I'll be trying this technique on a high gloss ebony soon.
