Hi all:U
I attacked a bowl today that I had rough turned a couple of months ago. It had a couple of cracks in as you can see, so I mixed a bit of sawdust and a two part apoxy together and tried to pack it into the cracks. I had limited penetration into the crack. I wouldnt do it again because the fumes were quite strong when I started turning. The timber is hard but thanks to the guys at my club helping sharpen my tools it made good work off the timber. Being a novice Im still learning the different timbers, So if anyone has any ideas from the pictures I have supplied ,I would be greatful.
Cheers hope you like the bowl.
Ps It has no finish so it might be easier to tell what timber it is..
