Greetings artisans,
I am faced with yet another finishing dilemma that I don't have
the experience to solve on my own. I am working on the main lid of a
smaller piano where the color seems to get progressively lighter from the
point where the half lid folds over to the end of the lid. It does not seem
to want to take stain or especially dye. What do I do?
I am thinking of applying a filler to level off what may have been
lost from the stripping process. What filler should I use and where is a
good place to get it. Is it common to put on stain and filler in one
process? I have used a very dark filler in the past but I was working for
someone else at the time and have no idea what product it was or where it
was obtained. Hints?
I hate finishing but I think it's mostly because I'm just not very
comfortable with it yet. I know there is a learning curve but i'd rather it
wasn't at my customer's expense. ANY hints will be gratefully received!
Thanks!!

Wasn't there a list just for finishing topics?
