PieFedHow to stabilize small details in a maple burl carving?
submitted by
Hi, I'm currently carving a bear out of a maple burl. I'm getting to fine details such as teeth and claws. Does anyone have any recommendations as to how I can stabilize these pieces so they are less likely to break?
Thin super glue that really soaks in works well, but it can change the appearance of the wood and can cause a splotchy look with some finishes. Make sure you do some tests on scrap before trying it in the real thing.
Ah yes I use it all the time, that was going to be my go to if nothing better was recommended
