"Goldfields" Red Gum FP Roman Harvest
Well, after diligently giving Arry all the advice needed not to have a blow out, here it is-despite following the advice I gave, ---the real culprit was me!!!
. I dug in suddenly and too deeply and bang, there it was all shattered, so I decided to try a rescue with sawdust and glitter, and here is the result. Amos

Well Branka, you need to be an "expert" to have a blow out like that, years of practise blowing up blanks makes me qualified
.
However, the fill is CA , glitter ,and sawdust, let it harden, then gently cut back the big bulge, if you go to fast you can pull the whole filling out!
, don't ask how I know! then sand and apply CA finish, Amos
