Dog Chewed Door Beading

dendof

Ah jaysus - my pup managed to get access to door beading and had a good chew. Is there anything that can help to minimise the bad look?

Could I sand it down a bit and use something like stainable wood filler and then stain it to get it back to a walnut-y finish?

Jebus, what kind of a dog do you have?!

The beading looks to be MDF which probably wouldn't sand down too well, but you could give it a try just to get rid of the bits hanging off.

You can get polyfiller in different shades, so a dark walnut one might do the trick for you. You might want a small knife to get into the corners with it alright.

He hasn,t chewed the beading, he's chewed the glazing bar that the bead fits to.

You could plane, cut/router/sand the damaged bar down to the the bead top edge,

then plant a square piece on top to replace the damage. Or as suggested fill and sand

I'd wait until he's out of the chewing phase before attempting the fix - may not be the last time it gets chowed on

He's a bernese mountain dog. I suppose these things are to be expected so just want to get it back looking less noticeable if at all possible.

Probably my best bet so would be to cut out the middle raised mdf bit. Sand around, put a piece back in, then use wood filler and possibly stain it to match rest of door OK-ish?
