This is a laminated headrest. While sanding to shape a dark spot appeared about the middle of the headrest (and about the middle of the photo) just below and right of the "eyes" in the wood grain.
I felt it and it gives slightly. I sanded through to the glue line between the laminated boards, and have found an air bubble.
I figure I have 2 choices:
1) Drill a tiny hole and inject the bubble with epoxy or super glue. I still risk sanding through later, but if I don't, I'll have the consistent grain pattern.
2) Find another piece of wood with similar grain, carve out the bubble (1" x 1/4") and inlay the new piece. Possibly visible, but stronger.
What do you think?
