Im buildin a bar top outa solid 8/4 maple. Most all of it went together very nicely, but i could'nt squeeze all of the gap outa a couple spots as much as i woulda liked. Was lookin to find out what kinda filler you guys use to reacheive a flawless look. I'll be putting a tongue oil on it for finish.

I dry clamp to find gaps before ever spreading any glue. If I see a gap the clamps won't pull out then I take the boards out and join them until they fit perfectly. Never use a filler.

glue joint gaps

They are best not filled. JMO :blink:
A clear epoxy that will not appear as a filler would be my choice, especially if you intend to put a Bar Coat Epoxy finish on it. Fillers that are lighter in color will stand out like a bad mistake trying to get concealed.

What is your intended top coat?

this is the best wood filler i use that one in a while, you can get in the color you want, it takes a stan , most fillers don't, why don't you use a bar expoxy on the bar top, tongue oil doesn't add much sealer and finish or protection ?? looks nice

Gluing solid wood edge grain to solid wood end grain may cause other problems in the future also. :smile:
