Thanks for all the advice, all I have to do is make up my mind on how to do it.

I have tried this with both Blue gum and Forest red gum. Even when I get the pigmentation of the epoxy to match the colour of the timber, the glue seems to react with the timber and forms a dark glue line. The only thing I can think of causing this is the tannin in the timber. It seems the more tannin stained my hands become while preparing the wood, the darker the epoxy goes in the joint. Red mahogany is even worse.
