Question Steering Wheel Divot

So I just thought about a mistake I made when I first bought my SC and got to thinking maybe someone else has had a similar stupid moment. I drove my friends car today and she seems to have done the same thing to her Avalon. In my younger days, I used to wear a ring on my left hand and in one particular instance I guess it hit the wood grain of the steering wheel and make a small indentation. It's not a huge deal, but just got to thinking and wondering if anyone has also done this, and if anyone can think of a trick to repair this little "divot," that hopefully isn't too invasive.

Divorce comes to mind to avert any further damage. (I kid.)

Hahaha, good one. Not the case in this situation... a bottle opener ring.

My 2008 came with a small blemish on the wood that sounds similar. My "repair" was to use Old English Scratch Cover for dark woods. What it does is color the exposed wood fibers with a dark oil so that the blemish is not noticed (even though it is still there).
