I'm just getting into pen turning and up until now most of my questions have been answered through this forum. What a great resource. I'm sure this has been addressed before but I just can't find it. I have an Irish Bog Oak blank that has a couple of small cracks (checks?) along the length of it. They are real small but I think that when I start turning it, it will come apart. I've seen some posts that say minor problems like that can be remedied with CA. But none say how to do it. How do I get the CA inside the wood without some kind of vacuum device? Is it best to try a repair before glueing the tube into it?
Most of my pens so far have been Bethlehem olive wood and some purple heart left over from another project. They came out good and I have been giving them to friends and relatives. Now I want to try this IBO for an Irish friend and have run into this problem.
Thanks,
Dave Surette
