Nice tip about the mortises.
A word of caution concerning this method. Carefully match the grain of the filler strop to the piece it is going to fit into. This can be a problem if the piece you are trying to match has crooked grain. And you want the filler to be a perfect fit.
Been there Done that, if you don't match or don't fit perfectly the short cut tends to stick out like a sore thumb.
Darker woods, not so much of a problem.
