This weekends experiment

I usually use a 32oz movie theater cup for my resin molds, but it's slanted profile means I cut away a lot of resin when it's on the lathe, which isn't very efficient. The slanted profile does allow for much easier de-molding, and I like that. I've tried pouring the mold upside down, but it has it's drawbacks as well. So I've been experimenting with different molds, and different ways of securing the wooden bases in place.

These two were actually failed pours. The wood ended up floating mid-cure, and because it was in the pressure pot, I didn't know it until I took them out. Rather than waste them, I put them on the lathe anyways. I really didn't know what I was going to make, I had no pre-determined shape or plan in mind. They just kinda shaped themselves.

I like the colors, and will most certainly use them again while still experimenting with different molds and methods. It's not like it isn't fun, right?
