Hello /diy/, I'd like to ask you a question.
I'm trying to make an exterior bar counter, so the part you are looking at is working/eating planes with legs in them. The entire piece is foldable, meaning that each part can be separated.
Is there any way to fix those mini holes in pic related, to keep the ability of separation? I mean those where you can see the "radius" is actually bigger.
It is made of oak plywood.
Bump with second pic.

Someone had a shitty router jig. You can clean it up with a router and a proper jig. I think that's what you're asking.

Yeah, it was all done with most primitive technologies, as I had no other tools to use.
I was looking for more of a visual solution. I've read somewhere that you can mix epoxy with splinters and repair it like that, but I'm not sure if I remember it correctly.
If I did it, it would probably glue those parts together right?

You can use epoxy but it'll look like shit in my opinion. Epoxy and resins are great for exterior wood that will be painted.
I think your best bet is a filler than you can stain, eg. damn near all of them. Patch, let dry, sand, patch, let dry, sand, etc. until you get it where you want it.
You can also use it to fix those little nicks in the wood along the length of the cut. If you do it right, it'll be very hard to notice. If you're going to stain the wood, it'll be damn near invisible.
Since it's going to be a high contact area, don't buy some cheap shit. And let it FULLY cure before you start sanding and shaping it.

>meaning that each part can be separated
it is is meant to be repeatedly taken apart, filler is not going to last

Yes it will. We used filler on slapsticks that we used to lift safes with. We were rough as fuck with them. Quality filler lasts.
