Absolutely spectacular - never seen anything like it before !

Well done :2tsup:

You've certainly found a way to make those little off-cuts of burr go further, and what a fantastic effect you've created.

One more reason to buy a lathe!
I'd love to see a video of some turning in action especially the hollowing out part.

Beautiful work as usual :2tsup:

I originally thought you had a crack or cast join line, the white arc, but then noticed it was in all photos so assume it is just a reflection off that beautiful shiny surface :-:U

What type of resin do you use? Damien.:2tsup:

Neil, looks like the reflected edge of his light tent, with the windows framed further out in the background, thats quite a shine, and top pics, let alone the body of work, its stunning:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:.

The piece is beautiful!

The lighting of the object is perfect except for the windows reflected in the piece. If you are not using the windows as a light source, doing the same set up at night should take care of the reflections.

That would be really helpful, I would love to know how to, especially the way to cast the resin and the wood.
