Complementary and contrasting color accents can be made in many ways.  We currently have these favorites:

• Wood shavings - We save wood shavings and dust from general woodworking and use that in various applications to fill cracks and voids.  The shavings and sawdust may be mixed with white, yellow, or cyanoacrylate glue or a two-part epoxy as appropriate and applied to a void, crack, knot hole or imperfection.  Colors added this way are more natural and subtle.  These techniques are often used when we want to correct slight imperfections in a piece.
  
• Artificial colorants - Over time we may use a number of different artificial colorant processes.  Currently, we are using mostly Pearl-ex pigments mixed with a two-part epoxy.  This combination can be worked quickly and often provides stunning and spectacular points of interest in a piece.  The objective is always to make a piece look interesting and attractive by adding these colors.
