sassygirlinbermuda Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Good day everyone! Just joined now, so I'm having fun looking around. I'm doing the Willow, or trying to. It's not going well, but I'm stubborn. How much wood filler is too much? There's more filler than wood after all the splintering and breaking. My husband is a master carpenter, and he says to throw it away. He already made me one dollhouse, so I can't say he should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_the_haunted Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hi and :hug: to the group! I'm sorry you're having a hard time. Is the kit old? None of my GL houses have had that much of an issue but, mine have all been new. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Welcome to the little family, Melissa. I'm sorry to hear you're having problems with old wood. If your DH wants to, he can trace all the pieces onto nice, new 1/8 " plywood and cut it all out for you; otherwise, however much wood filler (or glue) it takes to get your kit built.

Autumnwind Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Welcome to the forum! Glad to hear your a stubborn woman who's willing to endure the hardship. :hug: It'll be more precious when it's finished and you'll be able to tell all sorts of stories of what you went through to get it that way. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shy Spirit Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hi Melissa - welcome to the forum. Sorry that you're having a hard time with the wood ... it does sound rather like the kit you have has dried out. A few splinters are to be expected, but you seem to have more than your share - old wood can do that. Greenleaf has laser-cut kits now, that are absolutely splinter-free!
