wood filler/resin
« on: November 20, 2012, 09:34:16 pm »
Hopefully, someone here can answer a question, or give me some advice.
I'm thinking of doing a pattern from Steve but instead of gluing the fret work onto a piece of
wood (raised design), I would like to cut the fret pattern out of the larger wood and then fill the
cut-out with some kind of resin/filler of a different color and that will sand some. any suggestions?

I have used the second method - using inlace to fill the voids when I have been wooturning, and it finishes beautifully. I can see no reason you wouldn't get the same effect and finish with scroll saw work.
It's all a case of "Mind over Matter",  The Government don't Mind, and I don't Matter.

Another option is polyester resin.. available in most craft stores. It can be tinted with a bit of acrylic paint and will have a translucent effect similar to stained glass.
