May 11, 20197 yr Larry beat me to it. My thoughts exactly, especially if not going to be stained but painted or varnished.

Those colored markers for furniture repair work wonders for coloring what won't take stain. I’m with you on this one Larry. Pull some dust from sanding and titebond and you have the perfect filler color and it will stain. If it’s a dark wood I mix a little coffee grounds in the epoxytp match up a knot.
May 11, 20197 yr I did not see it addressed, but can the board be flipped over? Following along this topic to learn... And thanks for posting this up danl for us to see the problem and your solution. Not many of us have posted up a problem during the build. Edited May 11, 20197 yr by Cal
May 11, 20197 yr I like option #2 also and for support either build a temp support using sawhorse or make one and the support will be solved.
May 11, 20197 yr Danl if you end up with a thinner top than you are wanting you could add a 1 x 1 around the bottom side or something thinner and it will look thicker and not be so heavy...I usually use 3/4" thickness for my wood table tops and can save not having to buy the thicker boards and in my area the thicker stuff is way higher priced.
May 13, 20197 yr You have listed several friend sources-----another option would be to check out a local cabinet shop that uses an oscillating wide belt sander---did that for my one quarter sawn wide project top-----no flaws,15$ and I was on my way. Worked well for me.
October 8, 20196 yr I fix dings. bug holes, tear out and any other damage with A little sanding dust mixed with Titebond II. If it's a big hole I use black walnut dust to make it look like a knot.

It works really well and adds a nice contrast, if that's what you are looking for.

I plan to experiment with Starbond and Rit powdered dyes. Rit works well mixed with epoxy resins but, with CA, it would be a different process.
October 8, 20196 yr @Gene Howe some links that may be helpful https://www.penturners.org/threads/can-ca-glue-be-tinted.144244/ https://www.lumberjocks.com/topics/11240 https://gluboost.com/
