Hello Tim,
I'm with Detlef, Albert, and Rick - most certainly this was an inset wooden patch to repair any defect in the material. This is not unusual with Moro burlwood hilts, especially larger ones (cp. Albert's example). An inlay from the same piece of wood will have blended in well. The position would not lend itself for any contrasting inset - just looks bad. As an alternative to keep it as is, you could try filling it with a resin paste with wood dust and matching color (or as last resort go for a blackish resin patch). Regards, Kai |
