I was recently cutting a layered project. 5 layers deep cut from resawn wood.
The grain patterns flowed smoothly through all pieces.
There are a few lines that need to be the same on all pieces so I stack cut the first few cuts.
I then cut the back layer first, then the next and so on.
As I came to glue the pattern on the second to last piece I noticed that my initial cut had removed some of the wood I needed to complete the project.
So I have some options left.
Just kidding with the last remark.
I am asking scrollers, when, if any time , is it OK to repair, or patch a project?
This project is one of four identical projects I have been commissioned to do.
It is not the end of the world if I have to start over. I had fun cutting it the first time I am sure I will have fun cutting it again

So I have some options left.
- I can discard the entire project
- I can place a similar piece of wood in the sandwiched frame to complete the project
- I can leave it the way it is and keep it around as a sad reminder
- i can set fire to my shop and collect the insurance
