OK, thanks for all the responses. Tho' the inlay idea is nice, it is a bit
more elaborate than what I wanted to get into. I picked up some plain ole'
"natural" color wood filler. Looks like it came out OK.

thanks for the help,

Hi. I joined two maple countertops but one edge wasn't completely

I'd
like to fill it with something that won't look too different from the
maple.
Is there anything good at HD that I could use to fill that gap before
I poly
the surface?

Dunno if you can get it at the Borg, but Franklin International, makers
of Titebond, make a wood filler that I used myself for the first time
yesterday. I like it. I'm sure that all the brands are about the
same, though the Titebond smells like lacquer thinner, rather than
acetone.
