Before and after
Hi
Recently completed a box. The front of this new box has a grain distortion which became the centre feature. The first image is the raw timber, untreated for comparision with the second image, now finely finished.
To accentuate this grain feature Whittle Waxes Wood Filler was used to fill the deep voids. see http://www.whittlewaxes.com.au/whitt...es-Wood-Filler. Use of the Whittle Waxes Wood Filler clear resin, together with saw dust from the surrounding provided a far better finish when compared with the white PVA glue or shellac, as the resin took on the surrounding timber colour.
An excellent result, as when the area was fine sanded (2000 grit) it did not have it's own shiny surface so often found when using PVA or shellac fillers.Tony Ward

Opps sorry, should have said this is the main drawer of a new box. There is a competition with a closing date looming just over the horizon, so that is all I can show at this time!
