Ding Repair

[Rolf]

I was using my flap wheel sander last night to clean up a Cherry picture frame that I made when it snagged and put a Huge ding in it. After several obscenities I decided to try putting a wet clothe on it and the used a hot iron (max heat) to steam the ding. Like magic the ding came back up. All that was left was a small abrasion from the drill chuck that was holding the flap wheel. I took care of that with wood glue and cherry sawdust.
All I have left is a small blemish that looks like a tiny knot.
PS the frame is for Jeff Zaffino's Now and Then train picture that I hope to sell tomorrow.

Its too late I sold it yesterday.
If I ever do that again I will try and take pictures. I was too busy cussing my stupidity to think about pictures.
