Pointeee ends..

I used a method called stemless construction to build the twins. It saved me a little time and effort and has an attractive look as the strips interlock on each end. However, what to do with the pointy ends? They are extremely difficult to push fiberglass into without making a huge mess...

 


So I decided to do and end pour. Basically a cup of epoxy poured into the ends to hold it solid and give me a nice end to tuck the fiberglass into, also a solid block to drill through if I decide to connect a line through the end. Epoxy gets hot as it cures, and I was a little concerned about the wood, but it cooled off before spontaneous combustion could occur.
