Brett's First Build - IB-6S

Okay not as bad as I'd thought, but there are teeth marks too deep to sand out. Any ideas on how to fill punctures without it looking -too- terrible?

Can you post a picture (close up but in focus) of said teeth marks....the fix might be to put a soaking wet cloth over the teeth marks and then flatten out the cloth once the wood is good and wet, place an iron / steam iron over the top and use the heat from the iron to decompress the 'dent(ure)s' in the wood.
Once you have tried this we can then consider other steps but this method may alleviate some of your trauma.
