Yew Knot cut out or epoxy?

[harvestbarn]

Hi All,

This knot has a fairly deep crevice all round it, this does not show up well in the picture. If you rock he middle of the knot it moves. Would you cut it out or attempt to secure it with epoxy and if so which product is recommended? If this is done will it still finish well with sanding sealer and Chestnut Microcrystalline Wax?

Either can be done by taking it out it can make an interesting feature as long as the hole has a tidy edge

Personally I would drip feed with Thin CA, fill any surrounding cavities with coffee grounds and drip feed those with CA.

Take care not to expose yourself to the CA fumes and any subsequence CA containing finishing dust, very easy to become sensitized too it.

Thanks CHJ I will give that a go with a suitable mask on.
