Fixing chips in my top

Sign in to disble this ad
Okay, I haven't worked on my bass build in a long while due to some financial problems, and lack of time. But luckily, I'm making time to finish this.

My problem is, the last time I worked on it, I sent my body blanks (the wings) through the planer, and on one of the walnut tops, it chipped the wood pretty good. Most of it I can just sand away, but there are a few spots that were pretty deep. How should I go about fixing this? Should I fill them with a transparent glue? I'll try to get some good pictures to show what I'm talking about.

Thanks for any help

I'm planning on using danish oil to finish it, and polish it
