Hello Tim,

I would leave it as is! The break shows an old patination, so I wouldn't restore it.

Regards,
Detlef

Agreed, but I would love to hear some wood restoration tips...

Yes leave as is Tim. As Detlef said it has a nice old patina and probably could have come as a result of contact with someones head

.
If repair is needed in wood then a suitable putty coloured to suit with a stain is OK but only if absolutely needed.
