Battle, I might be the person Pete was talking about that can hide that with paint. I've filled in 3/8" deep gouges and made them invisible, but it does require a refinish obviously. Is that a 16ga.? If so, I hate you. I paid $850 for my H grade recently and I thought that was a great buy. Of course, the wood is immaculate, so maybe it still is a great buy.

2Piper, thanks for lesson!
