Serving Bowl
Good day Carvers !
First attempt at power carving, pretty happy with the result, magnificent piece of burl. I will be using it to serve food, some of which may have sauces, be oily. There are many holes in the base, which will leak. I don't want to use epoxies to seal them. Any suggestions how I might seal these ?
Thanks Guys,
Gus

Great dish, thanks for showing it to us.
Epoxies are physiologically inert once the stuff has polymerized. No problems.
Seal the outside bottoms of the cavities with masking tape, pour in the filler and wait.
prune off all the excess and you're done.
At the same time, you could add fillers as features of interest to the epoxy = go to a hardware that cuts keys.
You can get enough glittering brass key dust to last a lifetime.

Epoxies are fine as long as you don't have an aesthetic objection. I find using clear casting resin doesn't overpower the design.
