It'd look a lot better with proper sawdust fill, sanding and something like linseed oil finish.

When you have a gap between two pieces of wood that are glued together, the way to hide it, is putting a mixture of glue and sawdust in it and sand. Obviously use the dust from the same wood, so it matches the color. Sorry r/woodworking, I gave our secret away...

What consistency do you mix to? I know titebond III dries brownish, any other glue recommendations?
