This piece of Bois d’arc has been an ongoing fight for 2 weeks

The wood and I finally came to a compromise today.

It is about 7” tall. The black that you can see are cracks and insect holes filled with epoxy.

Great work. That’s not an easy wood to work with, so you have skills for sure. Keep it out of direct sunlight or it’ll be a dull brown. But, if you have some way to keep it that pretty yellow, please let me know what worked. Nothing has worked for me so far.

This was a tedious process. I do not have a vacuum chamber so each of these were filled in one at a time and allowed to cure before moving on to the next.
