    Default Resin lid

    In the interests of not wanting to do plain, has anyone here cast resin in a lid, and I'm not talking to fill gaps in a holy burl lid?

    I am talking about having a 5mm thick book matched piece, with a shape cut from the middle and then filled with a translucent resin?


    1. I haven't see one so don't want to steal any ideas,

    and 2. not sure if it would work, as I have never cast resin before o don know what im doing and no sure how moisture movement might affect it ie crack or separate.

    This might answer some of your questions. Note that he uses epoxy resin not polyester or casting resin as they could fall out.
    Here's another one.
