Hello all!
A few years ago now, I built a butcherblock countertop. It's about 16' long. Very cool, if I do say so myself. However, at that point I learned (here) that Minwax wood filler is actually not stainable. Ok, you can stain it, but it'll never, ever actually look like wood, let alone the one you're staining.
So... I'm finding now that the Minwax filler is actually chipping out. Normally, I might be sad, but with the glass half full thing, I'm thrilled. I've got an opportunity to fill the cracks with something that would take a stain.
This is maple and to date, I still can't decide what color to stain it. The surrounding cabinets are cherry and a cream paint. Kinda irrelevant to this question, but it's running through my head. But I'd like the opportunity to set it up to do well, with the proper filler. There isn't much, but what there is, I don't want to stand out like a scar.
What would you use?
Casey? Bobsmyuncle? All you folks I want to BE when I grow up?
(I'm insane changing the configuration of my base cabinets again and have this in a good position to work on it well. See, there is a reason to keep spare base cabinets around. You never know when you might want to take off your 16' countertop and move things around!)
