A table and a finding

[MedWoodWorx]

I finished a small table that is going to be used as a cover/ table for a built sofa corner. The thing is that i needed something for a filler so i used wood dust mixed with ca initially and when that failed woodglue (titebond) which also failed. The filler would stain nearby wood (ca) or it would be impossible to be sanded. So when a friend of mine who is a professional woodworker mentioned that floor specialists use a special primer to make a filler i tried it out. This product is amazing; its super easy to sand, it doesn't stain wood and it has excellent penetration to small cracks. It is a greek product but i don't believe that this was invented in Greece. I am certain that something similar exists in Europe, US or other parts of the world. If you find it please give it a try.
The pattern that you can see at the joints is deliberate, i used walnut veneer, the wood is iroko.

Possibly, you could explain the areas you were having trouble with? The cross joints seem to be filled with a very white material and don 't seem to blend in well. I'm always looking for a great wood fill product, but the pics aren't showing that well. As you said, "The pattern that you can see at the joints is deliberate, i used walnut veneer, the wood is iroko" Just curious.

What looks white is the endgrain of the veneer, it is the reflection of the light and the picture analysis that makes it look white. When i finished the table there were gaps between the slabs that are filled now and as you can see it is a uniform surface.
