Mom's

Well here is another. I just got a chance to take a photo of this yesterday. I borrowed it from my mother because I never took pictures.

I did this about a year ago as a demo but it was approaching my mother's birthday. Like any good mother she loves the pieces I make and thought she would enjoy this piece.

This is a scrap of manzanita burl that I had left from another form. It was kind of a silk purse out of a sows ear. I hate wasting wood so I figured I would make this one work. It is pretty slender and decided I would not try to roll the bottom edge as the base is small enough.

The resin is a mixture of blue and lavender but not my typical blue lavender combination. I have to say this was one of my favorite color combinations that I have ever done and have not used it since. But it is in the plan at sometime to use it again.

It is about 6" high and about 3" or 3 1/4" in diameter. The finish is high gloss CA.

As always cheers and jeers welcome.

Thanks for looking

Beautiful.

What did you use as a mold and the size of the mold? How much epoxy did it take to do this? Did you mix the colors before pouring or as you poured or after? I'm full of questions.
