I’ve worked with Cedar of Lebanon<\/a> in the past and while it isn’t my favorite wood I had a special purpose for this blank so I went ahead and worked with Cedar of Lebanon one more time.<\/p>\n I’d bought a good sized blank of Cedar of Lebanon while it was still green and waxed and set it aside to dry. In that drying process, it developed a huge through and through check in the more or less center of the blank. My first impulse was to put it into Green Waste for recycling but then I got to thinking that this might be the perfect excuse to try the Inlace product<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can read all about Inlace by following the link above but basically Inlace is a two-part epoxy that comes in several colors and clear to which you can add additives like crushed stone or metal powders. Inlace in designed to be used in purpose created tracks for highlights but it is also useful for filling natural voids and rescuing otherwise waste wood. I’ve seen it in catalogs but I’d never tried it.<\/p>\n
