Hi all
Well I've final got to the point where I've nearly finished my first proper project. As some of you may remember I was trying to fix a design and choose the wood many months ago ........ After much deliberation I was torn between ash or a combination of American hard maple / walnut so I had a trip to John Boddy's and went home with some nice hard maple and a couple of planks of native walnut ............
After a couple of weeks conditioning I got into the project and got it to it's current state sometime back
I need to sand it down further and then apply the finsih which is going to be 2 or 3 coats of Danish oil followed by a couple of coats of clear wax
My quick question is due to the fact that I may have gone for rather complex design considering that it was my first project. I was wondering how I should go about filling a couple of gaps (mistakes) and knot holes prior to aplying the finish.
I read that saw dust and PVA could work BUT would this take the finsh or do I need to use another method
any help/ ideas would be well come
Ian
P.S. Reason for taking so long is mainly due to refusing to sand indoors so in the gap I built a small workshop/shed in the back yard as well as a couple of other projects like stage scenary for boss and a couple of rough mockups and DIY
P.P.S ..... Mods ..... Hope this is ok in here if not can you move it please
