Custom wood putty is something I reference in a lot of my articles, so many times in fact, that it makes more sense to just get it down in a blog post and just link to it rather than explain it each time. (Work smarter not harder, as they say.)
Another time this situation happened was with the 3-4-5 rule. I wrote an entire article on that one.
I admit I did not invent this particular carpentry trick. I learned it from a journeyman back when I was still an apprentice. When they passed out long-term work assignments, I scored a finish carpenter job while most of my buddies got sent out busting forms in the South Florida heat.
The concept is both simple and economical. When indulging in a woodworking project, simply save some of your sawdust; the finer, the better.
Now you can mix it into some regular white Elmers glue. Get it to putty texture and apply it to nail holes, imperfect joints, etc. The glue will dry clear and all you’ll see is the original wood. Perfect!
