Working on a Christmas gift. I got the wood scrap, but I think it’s walnut. Eventually planning to polyurethane and fill in the engraving with black paint, but I’m stuck on how/weather to stain it.
I have a few stains from various projects, but on a sample piece they showed up really dark, and didn’t show the texture that well. It’s a little too late to do boiled linseed oil.
What would you recommend?
How do you mean? My assumption is that the epoxy will completely fill the engraving. And because it’s opaque, it’ll look like a flat layer on the outside.
Ah, thought it was clear epoxy.
