Good day!
I was wondering if a more experienced woodworker can give a bit of advice.
I'm in the finishing stages of an occasional table set. The coffee table itself will have a lift top mechanism.
I used baltic birch plywood and kiln dried (to 9%) solid birch edging. I had to use a few pin nails in a few spots on the legs near the bottom in order to hold the edging in place. After a bit of sanding, the pin nails are now flush with the surface (see picture).
Question: Should I drive the pin nails in a bit and then use some filler to cover the hole? Or just leave them as is.
My concern is that, over time, the wood may shrink a little and the pins may start to protrude and become a "cutting hazard". I'll be finishing the project with wood dye, toner, and then cleat coat.
Thanks
Paul
