If these are intact you can strengthen them with a little CA glue (or crazy glue). If you pack in some sanding dust or finely crumbled bark and then saturate with CA glue you can make that area finish flat and smooth after sanding. Some people like to use crushed turquoise. Depending on the size of the check you want to fill, crush the stone till it is almost powder. Larger voids will allow larger pieces. Pack the dust and pieces into the void and saturate with CA glue. It is better to have it filled to just above the surface of the wood. After it dries, sand and finish as you normally would. Don't be surprised if after you try this once, you start looking for pieces of wood with interesting checks/voids. Plus you can experiment with different materials like other stone, crushed shell, contrasting color sanding dust or who knows what.Botanical name:Piratinera guianenesis.Quantity: 1 Piece.Origin: Suriname, SA.Shipping: Free shipping within the USA!!
