I think I will just leave the nail holes and not fill them…they seem to add character and age to the wood. I love the color and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what kind... |

Glue for Dovetails - 12 replies I was wondering what glue everyone uses when doing dovetails? I have been usually using Titebond III, but sometimes find when I have a lot of dovetails to do, that it is sometimes hard to get glue on all the tails and pins and then assemble the piece before the glue starts to set.
