Thanks everyone.
Kutter, that’s an amazing repair! This is a new stock that showed no issues when I started shaping it but as I got down close to the finished surface I ran into this bark inclusion. I filled it and it isn’t really all that bad, just looks like a solid knot, but thought it might be nice to camouflage it a bit more. The wood has just one coat of red oil, made with blo, on it. It will be finished with an oil but not blo. The acrylic paint you use? Is it artists paint you get from an art store? Thanks for a very nice writeup.
