I found and bought a highly figured walnut board that I plan to use for making a tea box for my wife for Christmas (shhh!). When I resawed it to thickness, I found several cracks on the previously hidden surface that I need to repair. These surfaces will be on the interior of the box but I would still like them to look nice. Photos are attached.
I have saved some of the walnut dust from cutting these boards and can use it for coloring whatever filler I use in the cracks. This box will not see much stress. I'm wondering what epoxy or other material would be appropriate for filling these cracks. The boards are approximately 4x15 and 4x10.
Thanks for the help.
