A good friend of mine dropped this root ball round to my house, because it was such an odd shape i first turned it to fit my mould, and then added resin, by doing it this way you can maximise the piece of wood and minimise the amount of resin,
Once turned it was then sanded down to 800 grit Abrinet, and then on to a 2000 wet and dry followed by Yorkshire grit, and finished with a sanding sealer and high gloss wax, giving ita quite spectacular finish

I hope this tutorial will guide you through the steps as how to make this.
I try to use this woodturning channel as a platform to share ideas, and to demonstrate to other wood workers the steps needed to achieve this.
I use many different types of wood in varying combinations, as well as combining this with resins, i tend to use glass cast 50 as i can use this without the need of a pressure pot.
For my finishes I use things like Wood dyes spirit based and water based, high gloss wax and
Boiled Linseed Oil - Danish oil and hard wax oil. I also like to experiment with differing textures to give my bowls a different feel to them
For my actual wood turning i use a galaxy DVR lathe 14 44 which is very versatile, which gives me the ability to turn a 14-inch bowl or spindle length of 44-inchs
