Hi. I've got a wooden table that's about 20 years old and is in
reasonably good condition except for a gouge about 1 cm across on one
edge (top left of image).

Can anybody recommend a DIY product that'd do a reasonable repair?

Get some woodfiller, it comes in different colours and pine is
available everywhere.
It blends in quite nicely once set and sanded down....you may have to
sand the entire table down and give it all a coat of clear varnish,
my guess is that it would come up like new.


I'd use a Liberon Wax stick. Easy to just rub it across the damaged
area and, unlike some fillers, you know in advance how good a colour
match it'll be
will wax work in a dent?? I can understand a scratch being filled with it


I've filled knot holes with it, and your dent looks about the same sort
of size. In fact, if you use a dark shade, it even looks like a knot,
which might be easier than trying to match that elusive pale pine colour.

OK, thanks. I'll order a couple of sticks and give it a go.
