A client requested that I repair the damaged edge of a beautiful 1940's era spalted oak credenza. A treadmill had fallen on the edge of it and left a deep indentation. In this picture I have taken the damaged section out with a marking gauge and chisel.

Before
I had a small supply of spalted oak from a recycled piece in my shop and to my joy the color and spalting pattern was a very close matich.
