Fixing a scratch in white oak

[thomp1983]

Hi all,

As the title and the photo shows really, I slipped with a Multitool whilst cutting a newel post.



The oak will will be stained for final finish if that'll help but how do I go about hiding it, or am I better off getting one of those scratch repair companies in?

The bottom rail will cover half of it and help take your eye away from any repair hopefully.

Thanks,
Chris.

Colour matched wax stick .

As above. Or sand the scratch flat but you will need to remove 1-2mm(?) of timber.

I'll gently rub the edges smooth then go with the wax stick and hopefully once it's stained it'll not be noticeable
