Over the years I have made a few pieces that have resulted in large holes (bark inclusions). If these holes are situated in awkward locations (e.g. at the bottom of bowls), they become useless, however, I have kept several of them as the wood itself is too attractive and I can't bring myself to destroy them!
Can anyone recommend any attractive and fairly easy to apply fillers? Colours or type of material is of no consequence to me as I would just like to experiment on saving these pieces. The holes in question, while more than mere splits, are not huge. Generally they are in the 1" to 2" square sizes.
I have seen many examples of filled work from magazines, so I know there must be solutions out there! I live in Canada so am prepared to have to order any product suggestions on-line (not too many turning retailers in this country).
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
