Find/buy a small chunk of ebony "local guitar store may have a spare ebony tuning peg laying around"... make a pile of powder buy sanding it over sandpaper... clean area thoroughly, fill hole, level with a razor blade, use/drip "thin" CA glue... sand to level... it may take a couple/few tries to build up area

Fill 'n Finish Original Black is perfect for black peghead and ebony bridge and fingerboard repairs. Fill n' Finish Black is deliberately semi-transparent for ultimate flexibility. Add MasterTint Black for more density of color.
