I've recently got some nice pale moon ebony, black & white blanks which should make some nice looking pens. Only trouble is there are a couple of small (16th" diam.) worm holes in it.
I was thinking of collecting fine sawdust from the turning process, mixing it with epoxy and then filling the holes with this mixture. Then after letting it dry well (24 hours) doing one final turning to clean up and smooth the surface of the fix.
Would this idea be what I should do, or does anyone have any tips as to how, when, and with what can I fix this problem in otherwise beautiful blanks.
I don't mind if the few holes are visible. I just don't want there to be any open holes.
Thanks in advance.
