    What are you going to fill the cracks in the burl with?

    And will you do that before you start shaping the top to help prevent pulling off chunks around the cracks?

    The intention is to use epoxy, though I’m not sure if I want to go with just a clear, or a black/dark coloured version.
    many other tasks to address before I get there though.
    I’ve thinned down an off cut of the burl for a headstock plate, so I’ve got to reduce the headstock thickness and then attach that. Given that it’s only a couple of mm think it will likely need epoxy treatment also.
