That's a good way to do it with trim. Even for larger holes, sometimes a grain pen can be used to trick the mind by continuing the grain lines through the putty.
@@davidshaper5146 Black filler can be a nice detail. Ordinarily I'd view the holes as character, but maybe just because it's a frame, the concentration and location of the holes looked more like a flaw. I maybe could have balanced it out by drilling two or three holes on the other side.
@@TheSnekkerShow I normally don't fill them, and tell people not to use them for food because you'll never get food debris out of the holes. It's also a pain filling concave and convex surfaces with a liquid. Plus, I have to be turned to near final thickness because the epoxy might nut fully penetrate, and I might open up new holes as I approach final thickness. All said, it's a lot easier saying "don't use this for food".
Just the right mix of skill and patience. The results are stunning.
Thank you. Nice tip for Box elder which I use occasionally.
Great video! Much appreciated.
In the poplar trim I bought about 8 different wood fillers, and mixed to match each staple/screw hole.

@@TheSnekkerShow yes sir, 100%
Just my opinion, but if you don't like the "damage", choose another hardwood. Nice overall effort.
Agreed. If this wasn't just a prototype, I would have been more selective when choosing boards.
@@TheSnekkerShow I mainly turn the stuff. If it's a bowl for food, I fill the holes with dyed black epoxy.

@@davidshaper5146 lol same here. I have tried making putty dams to help save on resin, but typically call it artisanal wormwood.
