So that’s it?  No other suggestions?  I gotta do something hereor the GF’s family is going to be pretty disappointed.  They don’t know woodmovement and they all came together to get this for me because of my failinghealth.  My knee jerk reaction was firewood but that’s just not in the cards.  Icertainly agree with Mr. Allen, I’m facing an uphill battle here but canprobably pull off something to appease the masses.  Richard, please take nooffense, but I have to try something, might even put a glass top on or something. I will for sure  seal it from the back just to try to stabilize it but I’m alittle reluctant to go whole hog with the epoxy.  Sure I could put a gallon ofwest coast against it and may do so but I thought the list would be a littlemore creative.

Subject: [Woodworkers] So I was gifted this bar.    My girlfriends family decided that considering my health, they would get together and give me a bar. They found this at the Brass Armadillo and as you can see, it is in less than stellar condition. I had to remove the top coat so my buddy could run the top through the big timesaver sander where he works.  Naturally I had to strip the front if I ever hoped to make them match.  This is a homemade piece and I’m sure the guy/girl put a lot of time into making it but unfortunately just wasn’t quite there when it came to wood choices.  I have many large cracks I need to deal with.  He/she even put bondo in one section.  Before I saw how bad the cracks were I had thought of using epoxy and India ink to fill the gaps. I plan to make this much darker (dark walnut) to make it try to match the pieces in the place it is going.  My question is, since I have so many cracks to deal with, should I change my strategy and go with a filler or stick with the black epoxy?
