gap filling methods
I had success with poly and sawdust. Wood glue with sawdust works fairly
well but my favorite process was oatmeal.it is very economical, natural and you can get a perfect consistency. Im not sure how it stains but would probably work well once you get the hang of it. Of course it needs to be sealed when finished. -- |
