    Default Not sure - worth trying this some more?

    Hi folks,

    Did a couple of cast blanks with some huon pine shavings... I am not sure they really work, anyone have an opinion?



    They're not easy to photograph!

    Regards,

    Danny

    They look nice but seem to lack a little definition, chips a smidgen to small maybe?

    And yes some pens resist ones attempts at taking a really good photo, something I need to improve on.

    Has the huon taken on any colour from the resin? Dust mite may have hit the nail re size of chips....

    Bigger chips makes sense! I did cast up another pair with some bagger shavings, but it fell victim to bubbles. Will see if I can rescue it...

    I have tried a few cast shavings and all were crap, I even chips, but they were similar IMO
