I have a new-to-me custom that had a chip out at a barrel pin when I bought it. The stock is a very dark finish, and the bare maple really stands out. The pin seems to have enough purchase, so there's enough wood remaining to keep it in place. The chip is about 1/8 by 1/4" in size at the surface, and perhaps 1/16" deep.
I've been thinking about using beeswax to fill the chip and protect the bare wood, but I've also been thinking of ways to "dirty up" the beeswax to make the chip less obvious. Perhaps melting in a bit of dark brown crayon wax? Thoughts?
I don't want to try and stain the exposed wood, just protect it and make it less obvious.
Thanks,
Mike
