I'm guessing that a few people here dabble in woodworking as well as wrenching old tractors and implements.
I have some dead/spalted/wormy butternut wood that I harvested about ten years ago and air dried.
I've resawed and planed some of it, and I'm just starting to think about making some things with it.
Here is my specific issue: I like to use natural Linseed finishes (around here, there is a local brand called Tried & True). I really like working with finishes that are only about as toxic as cooking oil. This butternut is the first wood that I've worked with that would need some kind of filler to fill in the wormholes in some places. I'm thinking that I would like something dark to make the wormholes stand out.
So, is there a dark wood filler that I could put into these wormholes during sanding/finishing that would then absorb a linseed oil finish?
Thanks in advance and Happy New Year
