First: I attempted to cut out a shark and fill with blue dyed epoxy.
I know I need some technique work on the scroll saw, but the thing that got me was the bleeding of the epoxy into the maple. How have you guys dealt with that? I thought either painting the inside of the cut with enamel that is a close match for the epoxy, or using CA glue to seal the wood.
My other screwup is the finish on this pen:
The deep CA finish added some significant size to the barrels. With the shark one above I undercut the ends and it seemed to help. Is that the only way around this?
