    Default Boosting stocks

    Here are a few pens I have been working on over the last few days

    The First is a Cholla Cactus that I have filled with blue resin in a vertical mold and then turned down

    The Second I think is a Eucalyptus Burl cast again in a vertical mold and turned down to this.

    The Third has been done with She Oak pods cast in the Vertical mold and then turned down

    The Fourth I think is a red Gum Burl and again cast in a vertical mold.

    I am interested in your thought as usual


    Cheers Ian

    Ps you will see some of my other cactus castings in the casting section
