I agree with Chas. Fortunately I know Brendon from another site.

Good job did you use a pot to cast or just pour into the mould

I use a pressure pot 60psi left it for in for 24 hours took it out and put it to one side to fully cure for a week before turning,it would have been slightly deeper but I got a bit heavy handed and chipped a chunk off the rim and had to cut it back :sob:

Different approach Roy, colourful cheap way to make bowl material. Liked the reference from others re Brenden love the accent. His use of triple EEE is no surprise for me been using it forever it seems.

That's a clever way to use small pieces. The colours are nice. Is there a finish on it?
the only finish is a wax one I had to apply a little CA here and there as some parts of the wood were a bit powdery then I sanded it to 600 used sanding sealer then polished it with wax

I like that Roy:thumbs:

Reall stunner and excelent colour in my opinion.

I have seen the method but never tried it out. Looking at the results it's another one of those. Must try jobs in the future. Only problem is I seem to have enough to fill the encyclopaedia Brittanica at the moment..
