Just 1/16”. I (embarrassingly) went through from inside with a drill bit. By and large the finish is in good shape.  I’ll try tinted putty covered with diluted nail polish or a spray finish. And report back.  The wood itself doesn't absorb the various stains and marker ink I've tried.  They just wipe right off.    Thanks for the suggestions.
the picture shows my unsuccessful attempt so far to match the original finish.
