In Response To: Re: Strip: Fillers (Les Cheeseman)

I take a strip and put a small angle on the edge with my plane. Then I would put a metal ruler on it and with a utility knife slice off a thin piece that would now have a "V" shape to it. And you can sand it thinner if needed too. That I would press into any bad joint and it would be invisible when done. It doesn't have to go all the way in. Its a cosmetic fix. Use your normal water woodworking glue *just a tiny touch of it)

BTW- that's how you repair a split or fissure in a guitar or violin. Good repair people will match the wood and spend and hour making that patch fit perfectly.
