Reply To: Finishing tabletop with beetle grooves

Thanks for the info Larry, is it possible to do a light stain on the wood prior to doing a thin epoxy. I am a little worried about the stain settling in the low spots and creating darker veins where the bugs were. The stain is going to be necessary to get the top to match reclaimed legs that I built and will attach a picture of. The top is quite light in color and the legs are a fair amount darker.
