Best way to deal with chipped finish?

It doesnt have to be invisible, just not so noticeable, any ideas?

Here's Dan's method

Same as Dan - I would put a drop of red ink in it so it creeps under the chipped finish, and then a drop of superglue. If you under-fill rather than overfill, you won't have to sand it back, but it will still be much less noticeable than the chip is now.

Just use supee glue and add another chip for good measure.

Cool, thanks guys, I was going to use shellac and drop that into it after dying the wood below with wood dye but super glue does look much easier.

I haven't watched the video but i have done this before using the thick gel superglue and got good results .  If you use the thin it takes a bit of patience to build up and more danger of going where you don't want it , i guess it depends how deep the chip is also .   Might be an idea to make a dam out of Plasticine or bluetak  or something just incase of an accident .
