Fresh off the lathe, still some finishing to do....
alt. Ivory is my third handle able to hold a 28mm knot. The shokwood is to small for anything larger than a 24mm knot

Attention Trimmy72.. When my CC bill shows up next month, I'm blaming you for these... Attachment 208531 Attachment 208532 Attachment 208533
These are spectacular, I've never seen them before.
Part my ignorance but how is the resin injected to the wood?
I've tried to look it up but besides vendors I couldn't find anything...
From Jr./High School Wood shop class my wood shop instructor also taught a "Plastics" class they did a lot of acrylic projects. The acrylic was a pourable matrix, this was mixed with a hardener and poured into a mould of a general shape and then moving quickly you could embed things in it. (I had a girlfriend in that class, I would always ask her "dime for your time" one day she presented me with a heart embedded with a dime)When the acrylic hardened you would remove it from the mould cut it/shape it sand and polish it. The way the pieces look I think the take a large piece of spalted figured wood put in a mould and pour the resin/acrylic over it let it set and cut it into smaller pieces.
Brushguy on YouTube give a good demo of how pourable Acrylics work.
