Strengthening Amboyna Burl
I bought a real nice piece of Amboyna Burl. It had the bark still on it. Because it was so close to the bark, there are some cracks that go down into the wood. The place I bought it from sold it as Acrylized, and I believe it is, but the cracks are still a weak spot. I am afraid that they will break under stress.
How can this be overcome? Should I soak them in Polyurethane? Should I make a coffer dam around them and pour in liquid epoxy, and let it seep down into the cracks?
Any ideas?
