I'm working on a Gentleman fountain pen in Afzelia burl, and the piece of wood I have is beyond gorgeous. The section that I'm using to make the body of the pen has a knot:
It's got some depth, but doesn't go through to the tube. Here, I rotated it a bit so it's upper left to try to show depth.
I know I need to fill this because, well, it's huge. And I kind of like the dark look of it, so I'm hesitant to just fill it with sanding dust and CA, and since I personally prefer Mylands to CA for my own pens, I wasn't planning a CA finish.
Suggestions?
Oh, and here's what the cap will look like (sanded to 500 with a coat of BLO):
