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.

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.
