<div class=Section1><pre><span style='color:#1F497D'>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. <o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>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? <o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre><img
