I had this scrap maple left over from an old project. I milled it into 1/4” planks and spaced it with 3/16” paint stir sticks. The mold is made from 1/32” polycarbonate sheet. I am using urethane resin for the pour, not epoxy resin. I almost ran out of time for the pour. This resin only has a 12 minute working time once mixed to get it into the pressure pot, but is cured in 4 hours which is amazing. I didn’t have the guts to open it at 4 hours and waited until 5 hours had passed. Had it on the lathe in about 6 hours from pour and roughed out the blank. I have to admit I am a little disappointed in the color of the finished piece. I was hoping for a darker blue with the pearl being a little more vibrant. I am still learning and every piece I make, I gain confidence in working with resin and turning as well. I know I have a long journey ahead of me and am looking forward to new challenges and improving my skills on the wood lathe. Thank you for watching! I hope you have a great day!
