[pianotech] Finish Repair Question - Should be Case Repair Question

[Encore Pianos]

I sent my reply off a tad too soon.  The advantage here is that you can take
the slightly over size piece in and out.  I would simply hold it in place in
hand and run my fingers over the two pieces to establish high or low, walk
over to the belt sander, trim, come back, check again, and so on til I am
done.  Then after you glue it, you will have to do some small amount of
puttying and a bit of sanding.  

The piece is black unless I am mistaken.  The primer and finish will be
opaque, which renders the surface materials blending moot, as long as your
work is done carefully.

Actually, fitting a piece of wood would probably require the most work as I
see it.  The section is not quite precisely cut at present and would have to
be squared and leveled.  The wood would have to be cut to size very closely
as access to do leveling after is somewhat limited would be the slowest and
most difficult to sand level being made of wood.  The ends would still have
to be filled and blended afterwards and then you'd have three different
surface materials to match and blend.  

Ruth Phillips just sent me a sequence of photos that utilize her wood
rebuilder product which I'm tempted to use.  Thank you all for your input.

Thank you for making my point in the fewest words possible.  :-)

You could have fitted a piece of wood in there and have been done with it
already.
