Thank you all! You have all given me hope that this can possibly be salvaged. I’m not very good at all this yet, and though its a simple design, it took me quite a bit of time to execute. I’m leaning towards the lamination of a thin dark specie wood to the existing shelf, with holes bored through at the correct diameter. I used Mahogany splines, so Mahogany on the shelves would match. I do want to fill the holes I did wrong, so I’m thinking of using thin cork material for that. It would provide a soft cushion for the glasses to sit on, and may look like a feature as well, instead of part of a fix.

Thank you all again! I really appreciate your time and thoughts!
