buckeye burl filling

[dremy2006]

Look at this clip. You'll hear what Stuart Spector does with Buckeye Burl tops that have some voids.

awesome vid... thanks.. but he's using a CNC to make his plugs...

The method I described is your only option to get a match and it works fine .You've got the dark material from the edges of the buckeye that you've cut out that you can use as filler material . You could even use small squares to fill the bulk of the voids but you'll need the sawdust +clear epoxy or glue to bind it all together .I've used this method with ebony to fill in some inaccurate routing of block inlays and it's absolutely unnoticeable after drying and sanding .G'luck

Take some fine dark sawdust ,mix with the epoxy or clear super glue.. into a paste and slap it in there ,leave to dry and sand .

Δ This. My old Shop teacher taught us this one. Done well you will never notice.
