So, after a couple of runs at my backyard setup i noticed a small splinter of wood was stuck in the ski, right under the foot.

I dont have any waxing equipment, and im wondering what to do with the skis.. I have removed the splinter of wood and smoothed out the base material.

You could use a ptex stick to fill that, it only looks small and should hold, you will be able to do it urself aswell

go to your local shop and get a p tex candle and a metal scraper. light the p tex while holding it over a piece of cardboard (carboard under yous ski is a good idea too), let it burn for a few seconds then move it over the hole and drip it in till its just above level, let it cool then remove excess with the scraper.
