I recently bought a butchers block oak worktop from a reputable company and when received I checked it and it had a few minor defects but nothing that a slight sanding wouldn't sort out, at least thats what I thought, when I sanded one of them it uncovered a half inch deep by 1 inch wide hole which was filled with some filler, the company happily replaced it but the replacement appears to have even more minor defects than the first but without sanding them I have no idea how deep they are and how much filler has been used. I was surprised that filler was used at all in the top side of the worktop and thought it would only be used in the underneath and I suppose my question is, is it normal/acceptable is it to get lots if filler in the topside of a brand new worktop?
If anyone has any advice experience in this field it would be appreciated.
