Thread: Walnut doors with stained glass inserts - Family Woodworking

Week ending October 21st: (post two of two)

The overall quality of the walnut is quite good, but there are a few knot holes. I deal with these using a mixture of walnut planer shaving, walnut sawdust, and epoxy (QuickCure 5) in steps as shown in the photos below:

The mixture dries very hard and can be readily sanded. Once a finishing coat is applied (later), the former hole blends in reasonably well.

The walnut is screwed as well as glued, then the screw holes are plugged with walnut dowels. These are ?manufactured? from cut offs:

I just noticed when looking at this photo now that I chipped then paint off a couple of tiles when taking off the old molding. Oh well, I still have most of a box of tiles left over from when I applied them about 25 years ago. I expect that I will need to purchase new grout though.
