Unfortunately most of my day yesterday was spent cleaning. Finally reached the bedroom where my recurve was laid on my bed. My wife decided to throw a few random items on the bed which included a flat file I use for various sharpening chores. All but the file landed harmlessly. I now have a triangle dent on the thumb side of my ' curve' s grip from where the corner of the file came down. Anything like this ever happen to you?

Is there any way I can fix this? I have heard how you can place a wet hand towel on a scratched stock and place an iron over it and it will swell the wood and make the dent/scratch basically swell out to flush with the surface. Do you think this will work?

Any suggestions are appreciated!
