I've yet to try it myself, but I've read that mixing fine sawdust (sanding dust?) w/a binder like wood glue can make a putty that matches the wood you're working with since it is colored by the wood itself.
I understand that this technique may not be relevant in your case as it sounds like you're going accentuate the imperfections with black. One other note: When my father was working on a redwood burl table, he found some areas that needed to be filled. I ran across some products for filling cracks with silver or turquoise - probably something similar to, or the same as, what Mac referred to. - John On Mon, Aug 19, 2013 at 11:08 PM, Tim Krause <artmarb...@comcast.net> wrote: > ** > I know some guys in my woodturning club color automotive body filler with > what I believe is acrylic pigments.
