Neat piece, did you have to fill the crack? if so, what with?

-- Dan Wiggins

Prior to turning the piece I filled all splits and cracks with dyed resin fiber glass then turned the piece. I always make the filler stand out I think it makes it look better than trying to hide it.

-- Dale

Beautiful piece. Who says a crack makes the wood unusable? It adds a very nice touch to this urn.

Nice one !!!I always use epoxy and dye I will have to try the fiberglass, I take it your talking about the auto body filler correct?

Yes, I use bondo and I mix it in a baggey, I can cut off the end and squeeze it out under control as though I were putting iceing on a cake.

I haven’t been into woodturning too much lately, but I can’t remember ever seeing a foot like that. It really enhances a very nice piece.
