I show the repair done with a contrasting wood, but it can be matched if you’d prefer. . . -- http://timetestedtools.net - Collecting is an investment in the past, and the future.

Great job on the plane! I like the two tone look as well!
I did that recently with a handsaw tote and I think it looks good.
