Maybe a resin?

[Baggy]

Hi all

I have started a bowl but is has a fault, about 3/16 deep, I was wondering if there is a natural/traditional filler that could be used. Maybe a resin?

pine pitch and bees wax should do the job no probs, depends if your putting hot liquids in it though...

Another one is to use fine sawdust and purified (and that makes it harder too) resin. It's a kind of natural cascamite.
It takes a bit of hot liquid too, just don't scrape it out with a spoon when it's soft.
If your resin's too fresh though your tea can taste a bit odd

Must be something else though

cheers,
Toddy

you could always us pva and hessian sack and chop up sack in to tiny bits and glue it in cos pva is then water proof

Milliput will fill it but doesn't blend in.

Shape the hole and make a wooden plug then sand to blend the finish.

Would the defect not be able to be carved out or does it go all the way through?

That seems very sensible

Pine Resin!

The all purpose pine resin with create a hard waterproof shell.

Make sure you collect too much then you have some to use as tinder and some to snack on whilst you melt the rest for your repair! :borgsmile
