	WoodEpox, or Liquid Wood, (filler/adhesive) is a excellent product for
filling hole's
or complete wood replacement it can be sawed, drilled, carved, plained,
sanded, a stain finish can be achieved by adding dry pigments or spirit
stains to the epoxy while being mixed.  The epoxy is stronger than the
original wood, although by adding to much stain might weaken structural
integreity.
