It worked! If you are a new reader go to the post "Hatched an Egg" so you have the back ground for this one.
Carol's idea of getting something that would help fill in the space and be decorative and glue it all together with epoxy might be a solution. I said "we will see".
Carol had an idea we could find something to tie it together. She found what she was looking for at WoodCrafters. It is a product called processed veneers. Which comes 1/8 inch wide 30 inches long. The width was just right to fit the cover. We put the inlay in and put epoxy mixed with wood flour (a thick dark substance) around the bottom side into the groove. Similar to applying drywall tape. After that cured we used epoxy mixed with silica powder (less thick and almost clear) and using a syringe applied this mixture from the topside. This is the result after the fiber glass was applied.
This picture is a whole lot different than the one in my mind when I realized I had made the wrong cut. It not only looks great (click on the picture to see the detail) but more importantly is going to hold together. Another example of Carol June's great creativity.
