I just picked up around 35 board-feet of pretty clean and nice looking walnut for a shelf project. Each board has a few knots and/or great-looking "defects" in it. So I'd like to make them stable for cutting and finishing. In small stuff, in the past, I've used cyano and accelerator. I recall using epoxy a very long time ago and don't recall the results. The boards will be finished with a tung oil varnish mix then lacquer. That's going over an oil stain to get the color a little darker and more uniform. I got it to match our existing Wenge furniture in that room pretty well.
I've never used a vacuum pump, and am not opposed to getting one and building localized "stick on" chambers for the knots and such.
