In Arlington there is a wood workers store named Rocklers. I went in today and looked over their veneer for this repair. I chose some Flaky Quarter Sawn Oak Veneer. I got a pack of pieces 12 inches long by about 5 inches. When I got home I picked a small piece to test. I used some Mohawk Medium Walnut grain filler to fill the grain and bring out the real grain pattern. Then sanded it some. The pictures tell the story. While the grain is a bit larger than what I really need, I'll find a section of veneer that has a tight grain pattern and use it. I think it will work out real well.
