Hi David,

Carpenter's wood glue; it dried a bit darker than I thought it would.

That end of the wrongko is all end grain carved thin so when this area hit the floor the piece literally shattered; almost impossible to get the edges lined up perfectly and miniscule pieces were just plain missing. I had to reshape the wrongko a slight amount to get it anywhere near decent looking.

The repaired area was finished with 3 pound cut orange shellac; lots of coats, lots of sanding in between.


I hope to never do such a thing again in my lifetime.
