I love this repair. Matching the grain and color exactly would be madness. They always seem to look "obvious". Making the repair intentionally obvious is delightful and adds real charm. Especially in a cabin.

I always wondered why I liked your videos over a lot of other people's videos, and I've finally figured it out. I can find 1,000's of channels where people make something, but a lot of your videos are solving a problem instead of just making something new, and I like that.

I did a very similar repair to a head board recently (it had been chewed by a rat). I was fortunate enough to find a scrap of walnut with a fairly close grain match and color. It came out almost invisible except for the hairline joint. The customer was pleased. I like it when things turn out well.

I think Matthias is more of an engineer/inventor type than a fine craftsman. He builds intricate machines not museum quality furniture and he does it very well. Since you do fine furniture restoration you are no doubt more of a doer than a thinker. I also aspire to make things that are beautifully executed, my close enough friends hate that about me. He is a fine woodworker in his own right but not an artist. As a wannabe I can tell you the average Joe is put off by any criticism of his work.

Having done furniture repair for over 30 years, I really enjoy your videos. You’re well schooled in repair techniques. That stain is going to be a bugger to blend. Back in the day, that orangey stain was very popular in maple bedroom sets.you should look into lacquer toner sprays and aniline dyes made by Behlen Bros.. BTW way, I love dad’s table saw, the minute you turned it on, I knew it was an old school saw, a beauty.

It was pretty cool. The other option would be to leave it unrepaired (is that a word?), so that the squirrel doesn't have to chew next time. It would be an interesting talking point. "that's where a squirrel had to chew his way to freedom. He was lucky to avoid the guards".

The gnawed drawer face added to the interest of the cabin! You could have charged higher rent for it! Too late now. Then again, maybe you can use trail mix to lure the squirrel back to re-create his handiwork.

By 'doer' I'm not being negative at all. I know there is a fair amount of thinking involved in the process but the execution comes from something deeper than a thought process. At least I think so. This is what has appealed to me about woodworking, the idea that not just my time but I am invested in the work. I built things all my life, now I want to make things and put more into it than sweat. I have a long way to go but am enjoying the journey.

I made a similar repair once to a frame rail of a built-in hallway closet that a dog had chewed up. The repair turned out seamless. Luckily, it was a painted piece, so no grain-matching was necessary.

At a guess, BAFRA is the British Antique Furniture Restorers Association. The question here really isn't whether it can be done but if it is worth the effort to do it. Sometimes, it really isn't. I believe Matthias has said they no longer rent out the cabins, so is it really worth it to put a ton of effort into making the repair closer to invisible? I doubt it. In this case, I think highlighting the repair makes it seem kind of like a battle scar, so it's cool plus it looks good.

All of the posts you have made on the subject sound like you think his repair was crap. "Crap" doesn't necessarily mean non-functional. For instance, Iet's say I have a perfectly functional desk (level surfaces and sturdy) but the finish looked absolutely horrible and beaten like it owed me money. A lot of people would take one look and call it a piece of crap simply because of how it looked. On lighter note, I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
