    Beautiful work I’m a newbie at this and I’m trying my hand at live edge rounds 1-1/2 thick 12dia. Oak and maple. I’ve let them all dry but they are starting to split. I applied some boiled linseed oil last night hoping it would stop the split. So I thought beauty is in the eye of the beholder so why not try and fill those voids with a colored epoxy. Any suggestions, am I on the right path?
    I’m open to any suggestions you may have. Your work is amazing!!!
    Thanks in advance.

    • @DerekConwayTX
