epoxy vs. filler?

I'm in the final stages of finishing the high chair I've been working on when I noticed I failed to cut off the snipe on a walnut strip glued to maple leaving me with a little crescent shaped hole. It's on the backside of the crest rail. I was thinking of filling the void with epoxy instead of wood filler. Any reason why I shouldn't?

Not a reason why you _shouldn't_, but you'll want to mix some inert filler in with that epoxy. Pure epoxy is brittle and hard to finish - it gets a lot more amenable with either phenolic microballoons or fine wood dust in it.

Why don't your sand it, you can blend the sanding so it does not show, unless it is on a perfectly flas piece and even then you can blend it a little. You can also wet it and lettle it swell somewhat before sanding

Without actually seeing it it is hard to make an accurate determination.
