Hey Dave,
Can you put a thin veneer over the top....any contrasting wood or use the same (hog?).
That will cover the chip out for a new look
Is this repair doable?

Kevin, that was my first thought as well and in fact I tried it but could not make it look 'right'. If I could turn it into a design feature and make the defect into an actual plus, I will try it.

I'm coming to the perspective that the "art" of the luthier is learning to make problems look like features.

I know you can do it!

How about using dowels made of the same wood as the head stock veneer. Make them large enough to cover the tear out. Design opportunity!
