Thanks for sharing. Nice work and interesting process. Full view and Like 👍

[@bespokewoodartistry1517]

Thank you very much! Cheers

Nice piece . Think you would have been better using a piece of wood in the centre of your mould though . That way you would have used less resin and seed pods.
Good video but for me I'd rather have it without the ponderous music . 😮

[@bespokewoodartistry1517]

Thanks for the tip. Let me know what you think of the next video - Birch bowl with texturing - without music...lol

[@DennisDolan-fl3mw]

I would have "liked & subscribed" if you had narrated the video and told us what you were doing.

[@bespokewoodartistry1517]

Thanks for the feed back. I’m aiming for a video that visually tells the story succinct enough that voiceovers are not needed. I still have a ways to go, I know. I hope you stick with me on my journey. Cheers!

​@bespokewoodartistry1517 seemed pretty straightforward to me. Mixed up resin, mixed up resin with color, added resin to mold with wood things in it, added color to mold for a splash of dazzle. Then lathed it into a beautiful bowl.
