Fellow Lumberjocks,
I have a bit of tearout right in the middle of a trunk lid I am building. The tearour is about 1/4" to 3/8" long. I was using a Kreg bit to countersink some screws into lid supports. The collar set to close not allowing enough flute clearout room for wood chips. Anyways, I am NOT redoing this %$$^ lid. I need some solid experience direction.
The lid is quartersawn white oak. I used Cabot natural stain on the bottom portion of the trunk and planned on using the same on top. Looking for a good putty to blend and stain.
I have used Timber Mate before with not so favorable results. The natural stain on other project did NOT take to Timber Mate and dark ebony stain on another project soaked in barley.
Thanks for any and all assistance.
Tom
