1st. Do we really need a requirement of 57 characters in the subject line?
So flush trimming and this happened. I’m somewhat agitated. - Suggestions?
Also, here’s kinda an update on my slow process
Mark, your cabinetry is looking good… KUDOS…
fill the divot w/ matching base color wood filler…
sand flush…
use an exacto knife or scratch all to scratch in wood grain rays/lines…
apply matching ray colored filler to fill the scratches…
sand flush…
use TimberMate or Mohawk… these two products are pretty much top grade…

I just changed the requirement from the default 15 to 7 so your original topic would be acceptable.
A topic like “Flush trim accident” would’ve been long enough, and generally more helpful to anyone who has the same question in the future.

That would have been a better subject line. When my brain is enraged with anger it doesn’t always think correctly.
If you don’t like either solution, change out the face frame piece…
Mark what goes into the opening, a slide in unit like an oven? Does it have it’s own trim?
Doors, will cover, If that is a full height trim, replace with another,and cut this one up for shorter pieces. try to smooth out evenly and replace with a long half moon patch.
I like Soltow99’s suggestion,only the grain in a dowel might absorb stain to the point that would show dark. A plug cutter might work. By clamping a piece lengthwise across the divot and drilling out a round hole,like for the dowel and cutting a plug and orient it to the grain, gluing it in ,then trim with a chisel, like he suggests. I have had fair success plugging holes and matching grain that way in the past. A lot of fussing around tho.
there are 8 plugs in the top, in this picture:

I will probably use both solutions. But to Herb’s point, I’m going to use a plug cutter and get face grain.
