Extrude 0.25in circle into square piece
Hello,
I’m new to wood working so any insight wood be really appreciated.
The goal: extrude a circle into the square wood piece 0.25inches.
What I’ve tried: using a cove 0.5inch router bit on a palm router and a drill press.
What is the best way to do this?
Can these blotchy spots be removed or is it just the permanent coloring of the wood?
I’m not sure what causes this discoloration, but are the dark splotches something that can be fixed/removed somehow? Or it is just an ugly, blotchy piece of wood? I want to use this slab for a wedding “guest book†and planned on sanding it down real nice, but it’s not looking good.
