Hello all, I am planning on building a dining room table out of maple or ash (a white wood). On top of the table I want to get crazy with my router and using a 1/8" or smaller bit, make random "ant tracks" on the table top (like you might see in an ant farm). Then I want to fill these tracks with some resin or black material that I can sand and finish. I am trying to mimic the look of inlaid ebony. My thoughts were that I could stain some fine sawdust (like from a belt sander) and then mix with a clearish glue and paste into the routed groves. Or I could use some sort of black resin to fill the gap. The resin would need to be able to be sanded and yield a smooth surface. Anybody have suggestions here? Thanks
