Walnut crotch platter with feather grain

Roger-

Did you think about using coffee grounds to fill the voids and cracks in thid beautiful piece.

Gary

Another approach to filling the cracks and voids is to fill them with clear epoxy. This creates an obvious looking patch, but an obvious patch sometimes looks much better than other methods that comes off as a failed attempt to hide a flaw.......something to think about.

The epoxy sands out very well, and is strong and durable.......

This particular piece would be, in my opinion, a good candidate for the epoxy filler........

Thanks Gary and thanks Odie.........I am aware of the fillers.....I almost took brass key shavings and filled the cracks, but decided to leave it like it was.........don't know if that was a mistake or not, but I will use them another time on something with a bigger need than this platter.

Thanks for taking the time to look and to comment!
