That would be a lot of putty. I would rather see you replace all the veneer on the top. The missing veneer are rather large spaces. I you want to try the putty make sure all the loose veneer aroung the edges are glue down before applying the wood filler. There is solid wood under the veneer so you might be better off to remove the veneer sand the top to make it smooth and use it this until you can put new veneer on. The veneer is oak so you easily to this yourself. You can buy oak veneer a Lowes. When the weather gets better and you can get to one and you are ready I will talk you thru it. It is not hard and you can do it your bedroom. The veneer is so loose you can scrape it off with a putty knife by pushing it under the loose veneer. Glenn
Scraping the veneer off and sanding what's left was one of the things I wondered about. I really think that's more in line with my abilities. What would you use to finish it with after removing the veneer and sanding?
