  2. Making the vanilla is easy, as for wood filler, the hardest part is getting it to match. Would love to see you show such things though.

    1. Yep, I’m actually in the process of making the Extract. It’s the little detail of money for the vodka that’s in the way. Lol
      As for wood filler, I was told it is hard to get it to match. So I was going to come up with a project that it won’t really matter or in a spot it won’t be seen. I use the saw a lot so sawdust isn’t the issue. 😉

      1. The best way ive found is to stain a piece 9f the same kind if wood with the same stain and then make the sawdust. Luckily now days they glue that can be tainted the same way. As for the vanilla, here the mist expensive part is the vanilla beans, i keep it going all the time, so when i refill my little bottle i put more rum in the bottle with the beans. You can pretty much keep it going forever that way.

      2. Yeah it’s the vodka here. The beans were only a couple bucks. Right now I’m working with a lot of old barn wood.
        Thanks

    3. Besides, what may come easy for one person isn’t as easy for the next. Me personally…. I’ve never ever thought about making my own extract up until this past year. A lot of people do not know.

      1. I hear ya there, i started doing more types of extracts this past year, so I’ve got pain meds(white willow bark and california poppy), cough medicine( horehound and mullien), kidney (hydrangea) and a few others.
