    So I have some really old pine blocks that have lots of cracks. I want to turn some and use some for knife scales. Should I stabilize first then fill voids with epoxy?

  • @danumblades
    @danumblades Жыл бұрын

    I dont think pine makes a good handle material with it being a soft wood with a high resin content. Age may change this but I'm not sure. I would always stabilise wood before adding the resin to the cracks. If you don't the wood can move (expand and contract) and the resin and wood can come apart.
