PRS fret board repair

Was doing a standard refret on a PRS SE a couple weeks ago, and everything was going just like planed and everything was great. I noticed as I cleaned my board before fretting, that there was a small fracture in the remaining wood behind the 22nd fret. I tested to see how fragile it was and it just kinda crumbled and chipped out. I enlarged the chip so I could actually work with the break. After creating a small channel I took a blank of rosewood and grafted a new chip in, worked it to shape and contoured the edges so it would blend in with the board. I cleaned the slot, polished up to 800 sand paper, and removed the scratches from the last repair tech.
