powder

I have put this here as I have a few questions. Here are the photo's of the blank I managed to mess up. Some of the potential solutions have really peeked my interest, Aluminium powder, Milliput and the powders from Metallic Powder - Turners Retreat and I am hoping to try them out at the end...

Made these 12 apostles on the quick for a friend to go with his flintlocks each one will hold the correct amount of black powder to reload

Not Spalted but rotten. This blank came from a tree that had water ingress due to a lost limb. The largest cracks are filled with a black powder and Ca. 4 1/2" x 2" finished in Chestnut finishing oil.

Well despite a hectic weekend I did manage to cast my first blanks. I used translucent tinting pigment from easy composites, will try the powder colouring next attempt. Quite happy but will have to see how it turns later in the week.

Some new colors I'm working on and I needed some inventory for a craft show I'm doing next month. Thankfully I had a stash of Sirocco kits around :) The black and blue is fun... Blue glow in the dark powder in that one. I am mildly partial to the metallic blue and purple though.
