Amalio, what is the finest grit of sandpaper you use in order to keep the material so "fuss-free"?

This is art not shipmodeling at my level.

Beautiful done!

It's filler 

That's right, it's a wood filler. In Spanish is called "tapaporos" (a compound word formed by the verb cover -tapar- and the noun pores -poros-).

Spanish is as diverse a language as English is. Someone from Guatamala will speak differently then someone from Spain just like someone from Philadelphia will speak differently then someone from California. Let alone learning all the Spanish words that don't translate into English and find out how best to describe them or finding a word similar. So it could be sealer for someone and filler for another but in general that is what it translates into is something of that type.

And there are many 'false' friends in Spanish - you think you know what it means, because in Italian, English, French and German a word with Latin roots has one and the same meaning, but in Spanish strangely enough, it may have a rather different meaning ...

Definitely not a filler but a sealer... You apply it with a brush and seales all the porous of the wood. I personally don't use it and rely on good sanding and leenseed oil. 

 

 

Beautiful work! Keep it up 😉

Your photography is to be as greatly admired as your woodworking.

Beautiful
