Hi all! After completing my first edge grain board it said "f" it , lets get crazy and try end grain. Like my last project I'm using maple and Black Walnut. I chose a design with a border around it and got to work.
Problem: I saw a small knot and figured I'd fill it after I dimensioned the board to it's final size. There actually ended up being a few that I didn't see until i planed down a bit. Of course, a piece broke off right on the edge from a light sanding. That small knot went all the way through.
So, if this happened to you, what would you do?
1) I have an extra row of black walnut, so perhaps chisel / somehow cut out a section and glue in a replacement
2) Epoxy the ever living $hit out of it
3) Make it a "live piece of edge" cutting board
4) Something insanely cool I haven't even thought about.
Your opinion is hugely appreciated and PS. yes I know my lines are off, give a guy a break. My aspirations often outweigh my capabilities.
