That's a great looking bowl Alan. How did you manage to keep it bubble free

Well the supplier I get mine from(resin4art) says you dont need a pressure pot to remove bubbles a haitdryer or a heat gun will do the job but have not tried yet but will have to for items to big for pressure pot
Great looking bowl Alan. It's a sad reflection on me that I can identify and cast all the flies, but I can't the resin.

Wonderful. How big is the bowl? What is the wood? Did you have to glue the flys in place?
The bowl is 9 inches the wood is Ash and the flies are held in place with a wee dab of super glue
Now that's a beauty Alan. The flies are so precise & set the whole bowl off.

Thanks Alan, I hope to get round to the platter/bowl you did earlier.
I had thoughts of sticking flies to pen tubes and covering them with Acrylic but that is also on the 'todo' list.
