Billy,
There is nothing wrong with having a few chips around such a lovely table. Repairing it would only make the chips look more noticeable, and would subtract from the history of the precious piece. Leave it as-is. Enjoy your table.
Just a thought,
Aunt Mark

Chips = history
I agree, here is my table. It has been rolled to so many different homes and each little battle scare is a memory. If you want a perfect one then you can buy a new one for 20 times the price of a pre-loved one. I say save the difference and buy some chairs to go with it.
