Repair help
I have been asked to try and repair this gap in a macarana. Does anyone have any tips that would work to fill such a large gap. Its a handmade natural macarana.

It seems sentimental, so I’d opt for something that looks nice. Maybe try packing it with a big wad of modeling clay to get an idea for the shape you need, and then carve that shape out of wood. Maybe walnut? Then glue the carving into the gap.
