patches glued in
Glue was applied & the patches taped in place. Here is how the outside looks now. The important thing is having the grain aligned with the top & that looks fine.
At this point, since the back & sides have been oversprayed with both dark brown & shaded black in spots where previous repairs have been done, we decided it would be best to just refinish the sides & back. What little remains of the original finish doesn't justify trying to do extensive (which makes it expensive) touch up.
