<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 10236247, member: 4654"]I didn't have coloured wax sticks when I did it but I'm sure these would be better than using wood stain to match the shell. Normally I never use wax as a filler, I'd rather cut in a new bit of wood, before I started restoring my own antiques I used a restorer and said to him I didn't want him to use wax but it came back and he had used wax, this was the reason for me starting to restore myself. The money it's saved me must be thousands and thousands.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
