A friend has a 80" x 37" cherry table they let several candles burn down
on.
It actually burnt out maybe an eight inch of wood. The top is 1 1/4"
thick,
but I think sanding the damage out is probably hopeless; presumably the
wood
will be discolored deep into it, and it might be 3/8" to find clean wood.
Turning the top over won't work either, as the bottom surface is quite
imperfect.
That leaves ripping the damaged 12" out, putting new boards in, and
sanding
it down.
The problem is the joinery used. The top is all 2" wide boards that have
a
sort of finger joint between them. It is flat for an eight of an inch at
the top and bottom, and then 4 pairs of fingers, each about an eight of
an
inch. They are rounded, and project about an eighth of an inch.

Getting an exact match is too much to ask for, but I can't find anything
even close. Any suggestions, either on the cutter or alternate methods?
I
will take a router bit, a shaper cutter, or maybe even a molding head for
my
table saw.

I'm sure others make them too-probably $$$$$$$$

Unfortunately those fingers are about 3/8". I need 1/8".

When I look at the full size drawing, there are 12 fingers across 1
3/8". Print the drawing and measure them yourself.

Unless you're talking about the depth instead of the width....
