Those resin and burl blanks look really cool. Can't wait to see what you make with them
I was kinda curious how they would clean up as well so I turned up one of the brushes real quickly tonight.

Loosely influenced by a Simpson handle design.

I still need to polish it up properly to achieve the full transparency of the resin, but not to bad with a two band knot in it..
Really most excited to say there are zero voids, or bubbles in either the resin, or the stabilized burl.
I am comfortable that my pressure and vacuum systems can achieve optical clarity of casting. Yeah..
Cheers gents.
Man! You can do most anything, Mike! Cool! :cool:
Those blanks look fantastic Mike! :tu
I'm willing to try most anything at least Tom, think that's the key to any successful venture. But thanks kindly for saying it. Means a lot from guys like you.
Very satisfying to be able to create something from these remnants and otherwise discarded little pieces of tree tumours.. ;)
I see loads of applications for this alumilite stuff between these wood blanks, and the bullet brush I made for John etc....
Actually, think I have some wip pictures of that I should add to here.
Wanted it a surprise when he opened it and forgot to add them later.
