I'm just starting out in veneering. I bought some carpathian elm veneer, which has hundreds of little "eyes" in it, each smaller than a BB. As the wood dried, each eye shrunk slighly and has an itty bitty "X" shaped check in it so if you hold it up to the light, you can see light through many of them. Very tiny cracks, but they are there. Two questions: 1) Will these be an issue with gluing - how do I avoid major squeeze out through those tiny cracks? 2) Once glued, do you fill those with grain filler like you would use on normal mahogany or walnut, or do I use something else?
