What a fine job and a beautiful piece! I've always wanted to pair petrified wood slabs with nice wood. This wonderful creation of yours certainly fits with those intentions! Really appreciate your attention to detail, and the instruction that accompanies the process. Congrats!!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much! :) Take care.

[@QuestForDetails]

another year, another beautiful project ! light through cut stone is one of my favorite things ! light through wood rock just awesome ! family heirloom there.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks, Nate. I enjoyed your rope-making, too!

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Well done! I like that you could also just stand it up as a display.

[@KatyDidRocks]

I think that's how it is going to end up.

[@kosco9658]

awesome work there!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much! :)

[@wyomingadventures]

That's awesome! Nice job Mrs. and Mr. Did.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much! :)

[@gregjones2217]

Hello Katy and Mr did. Sorry I missed several shows. Sometimes the world isn't as fun as rock hunting. I caught up on the back issues and enjoyed them a lot. Thanks so much.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much! :)

[@kellyhollingsworth6100]

Lol! Preening U got to love Mr. Did. Those turned out spectacular, happy hounding.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much, Kelly! :)

[@TheOldladyB]

That's beautiful. Would look good as a wall hanging too.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much! :) We're thinking of some kind of table display.

[@kellyharper367]

Me too!

[@SherryAustinMcginley]

Oh wow!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much! :)

[@anniegironne8444]

Good job you two, great use of showcasing petrified wood

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much! :)

[@pretzeltime3900]

Hi Katy…been watching you for a while now but didn’t know about the Maker’s Challenge. Can’t wait to see all the awesome treasures that all these Rockers come up with. So happy that I saw this video!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thank you!

[@MontanaRockMom]

Mr. Did is the BEST! ❤ I'm a huge fan! 🤩xoxo You guys did wonderful! We often forget about all the other kinds of stuff we can light up besides just agates! This gets my wheels turning with so many ideas! Thank you thank you! YOU ROCK JIM 😊

[@KatyDidRocks]

I think I'm jealous. :D Jim has done a great job of being adorable and funny in my vids. We can all be our best self for 10 or 15 minutes. :D

[@IndusRiverRock]

Beautifu 👍

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thank you!

[@pamelasplace7429]

Wow! That's beautiful! Great job to both of you!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much! :)

[@jaguarsky55]

That's pretty cool and beautiful. I would put it on an easel and use it as mood lighting.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Definitely an option!

[@tott3457]

That is beautiful. Would look amazing on the wall ❣️

[@KatyDidRocks]

It really would!

[@philbergen1567]

Beautiful! Bet you could also make a great (but heavy) lampshade with those remaining slabs!

[@KatyDidRocks]

That would be cool!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much! :)

[@EdraRupp]

Nice way to let the rocks shine, also loved your Opal from Australia, video thankyou for sharing.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thank you!

[@greatnorthernviews3052]

That’s a cool looking idea 😊

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks! I was really happy with how it turned out.

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: That turned out wonderful!!! I'd mount it on the wall where I could enjoy it every day!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks, Kelly.

[@camilovergara6653]

This is great! You mixed two of my favorite things in the world: rocks (fossil) and resin.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much! :) I love it too.

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

What a super cool project! You can gather the family around the toasty lit up logs of petrified wood like ye ole fire! Seriously, what a neat way to display those incredible slabs in such a way that you can use it as well. Very impressive. It was fun seeing you two collaborate, keep the good times rollin and the rocks rockin! Cheers!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks, Karen. Jim and I work really well together - separately. :D

[@MichiganRocks]

That turned out really nice. I wasn’t sure it would when I just saw the bottom, but the top is gorgeous.

[@KatyDidRocks]

LOL, right?! But I knew the caulk wouldn't show from the top. Next time, I'll be sure to have a tube of clear silicone that works.

[@MichiganRocks]

@@KatyDidRocks It doesn't make a bit of difference if no one can see it.

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Can’t wait

[@KatyDidRocks]

:)

[@WildatArt2025]

Thank you Katy and co... 😮 I will be making this serving tray at home, I found a similar size piece of pet wood in TN on a rockhounding trip. Thank you for this challenge piece. Wild@Art

[@KatyDidRocks]

You might consider strip lights instead of the under counter things - they are a bit heavy.

[@WildatArt2025]

@@KatyDidRocks thank you!

[@benknrobbers]

Jim your hair was on point. Keep killing it my dude.

[@KatyDidRocks]

:'D

[@danielledavison4993]

That would look super cool just hanging on the wall!

[@KatyDidRocks]

I agree!

[@soul_adventurist]

Pet wood is one of My favorites ❤ great idea and fantastic execution of your plans. It looks fabulous 🤩

Beautiful! Too pretty to put away. I kinda hope you know a metal worker who can make a base so it could be a side table!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much! :)

* WOW ~ Perfect tray.. I love those Slabs.. Painting the back of the Plexiglass was Brilliant! I would have squared them off & made a Lamp, but you did better!! Just WOW ! !

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much! :)

[@patriciamckean4186]

Anxiously waiting!!! Such beautiful pet wood rocks. Nice way to highlight them! Great job "Did's"!

[@KatyDidRocks]

[@TheoKellison]

That came out fantastic!! Ive always loved the look of petwood when it glows, and that is such a perfect way to show it off! Awesome work from the 'Did team, and thank you so much for being a part of the challenge!😄

[@KatyDidRocks]

And thank YOU so much for challenging us!

[@traceymcginnis5607]

Jim you’re so cute but your project is beautiful. Ya’ll did a magnificent job. I remember watching that episode when you found that piece of pet wood.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much! :)

[@theresad.1347]

That is just beautiful! And very well done. Thank you for all your inspiring videos. You two are great!

[@songbirdscreations-MargaretS]

That turned out absolutely amazing! Great job you guys! You guys are so cute!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much! :)

[@mawi1172]

I never do epoxy because of the plastic already in our landfills. Its my opinion of epoxy. But I love you Katy!❤️

[@KatyDidRocks]

Interesting, I never thought of epoxy as plastic.

[@406findings]

Beautiful work 👍 now you gotta do a mossy agate one 😊

[@KatyDidRocks]

That would be beautiful too!

[@mawi1172]

Mr Does. If he's like you!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✝️❤️

[@KatyDidRocks]

Oh, he definitely does. :)

[@lyneece1956]

So pretty. You Katy “did” well.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much! :)

[@raystevens687]

I wonder if that would hang on the wall like a picture 📸

[@KatyDidRocks]

It would! And it may! :)

[@JodeeDeemHall]

Not only a serving tray you can make it a wall hanging

[@KatyDidRocks]

Definitely a possibility.

[@raystevens687]

It's probably a good idea not to use the drill to mix it because you would end up mixing in a lot of air into the resin. There is a way to get the air out and that is with a propane torch run it Lightly. Over the resin you should see the bobles disappear. Remember keep the torch as far away as possible and keep it moving it doesn't take very long. Just so you know I've never done this before but I've seen it done on line serval times and different people doing it. Good luck and I hope everything works out for you.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Running the torch over the silicone is my favorite part of the process. :D

[@keithcunningham7925]

That was a great idea thank you for sharing do you mind if I copy that idea

[@KatyDidRocks]

Go ahead!
