I have beautiful engineered hardwood planking in several rooms (3/8"x3" random planks, glued directly to the concrete slab.



The termite people drilled a number of 9/16" holes through the wood and the concrete in order to get at the termites.



That leaves me with 6 ragged holes in 2 planks. What is the best way of repairing or replacing a section of one plank? My efforts have made it worse, rather than better. Any websites? I could not find anything helpful on the Web.



The problem is the frazzled nature of the holes and how to get a reasonable finish match.



Any ideas? Thanks
