Hi,
My current project includes drawer fronts made from spalted maple. Some of the spalted maple areas are punky. I plan to use a clear finish, probably Arm-R-Seal, maybe over DW shellac.
I'm looking for advice on how to treat the punky areas. I've searched the archives here and seen mention of dripping cyanacrolate into the areas. Also seen mention of Minwax and other brands of wood hardeners. I just don't want whatever I do to end up highlighting the areas when it comes time to apply finish.
Unfortunately, I don't have much extra stock with punky areas to experiment on. I hope I've provided enough background. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for any input,
Edwin
