Hello good folks

I have to fill in a crack on Birdseye Maple. It is fairly small but the lips are spread out, so I need to fill in.

I was wondering what some of you guys use for filling in Maple so that you get the best colour blend possible.

Thanks in advance,

Pat

You can use dyed baking soda and super glue.Use trans tint dyes to make the baking soda the right color, then mix and fill with the superglue.Try it on a test piece first to get the exact match.
