[QUOTE="paulbookbinder, post: 188115, member: 2037"] Reading an older post about Petersons on this forum, and at least one person made the above comment in the title of this post. I have a few Petes, some high end and some lower end like Arans. Can't honestly say I see much in the way of fill in the lower end pipes, but then again maybe I don't know what to look for. I see, on the Aran 01 I have in my hands right now, three areas each the size of half a grain of rice, maybe 1/8 - 3/16 inch, that have obviously been filled with putty that is softer than the wood and has no grain effect. Is this all there is ??? If so, no big deal in my opinion. Am I missing dime sized or nickel sized defects filled with putty then cleverely stained to look like wood? I am seriously considering sacrificing one of my pipes to sand it down past the stain to get a real look at what is wood and what is filler. Am I missing something that should look really obvious??? thanks, Paul [/QUOTE]
